SONNET. XXXIIII.
[Fie pleasure fie, thou cloy'st me with delight!]
Fie pleasure fie, thou cloy'st me with delight!(Sweet thoughts you kill me if you lower stray)
Oh many be the ioyes of one short night!
Tush fancies neuer can desire allay.
Happie vnhappie thoughts: I thinke and haue not
Pleasure: oh pleasing paine! Shewes nought auaile me.
Mine own cōceit doth glad me, more I craue not:
Yet wanting substance, woe doth still assaile me.
“Babies doe children please, and shadowes fooles:
“Shewes haue deceiu'd the wisest many a time:
“Euer to want our wish our courage cooles:
“The ladder broken, t'is in vaine to clime.
But I must wish, and craue, and seeke, and clime,
It's hard if I obtaine not grace in time.
