x. Sonnet qu'un poet[e] Italien fit pour vn bracelet de cheveux qui lui auoit estè donnè par sa maistresse.
In frier sort of rime.
O haire, faire haire, some of the goldin threedsOf vich loue veues the nets that passion breeds,
Vher me like sillie bird he doth retaine,
And onlie death can make me free againe;
Ah I yow loue, embrasse, kisse, and adore,
For that ye schadow did that face before;
That face so ful of beautie, grace, and loue,
That it hath jalous made Heauens quier aboue:
To yow I'l tel my secret thochts and grief
Since sche, deare sche, can graunt me no reliefe.
Vhile me from her, foul traitour, absence binds,
Vitnesse, sueet haire, vith me, how loue me blinds;
For vhen I should seeke vhat his force restraines,
I foolish beare about his nets and chaines.
