Sonnet XXVI
Ile teach thee louely Phillis, what loue is,It is a vision seeming such as thou
That flies as fast as it assaultes mine eies:
It is affection that doth reason misse:
It is a shape of pleasure like to you,
Which meetes the eie, and seene on sodaine dies,
It is a doubled griefe a sparke of pleasure,
Begot by vaine desire, and this is loue,
Whom in our youth we count our chiefest treasure
In age for want of power we do reproue:
Yea such a power is loue, whose losse is paine,
And hauing got him we repent our gaine.
