Sonnet. 4. Hope and Despaire.
Domestick broyles my tortur'd heart inuadesTwixt wau'ring Hope, and desp'rate black Despaire:
To prosecute my sute the one perswades,
259
Hope sets me on, infer's shee's fayrest faire,
How dire disdaine doth dwell in foulest Cels,
And fell despaire calls beauty Enuies heire:
Which torments me more then ten thousand hels.
Loe, thus my former hope despaire expels:
Mid'st which extremes whats best for me to doe:
In open armes, despaire 'gainst me rebels,
Hope traytor-like giues free consent thereto.
And till these traytors twaine consume my citty,
I restlesse rest, to rest vpon her pitty.
