Sonnet XXIX.
I feele my selfe endaungered beyond reason,My death alreadie twixt the cup and lippe,
Because my proud desire through cursed treason,
Would make my hopes mount heauen, which cannot skip:
My fancie still requireth at my handes,
Such thinges as are not, cannot, may not bee
And my desire altho my power with standes,
Will giue me winges, who neuer yet could flee:
What then remaines except my maimed soule,
Extort compassion from loue-flying age,
Or if nought els their furye may controwle,
To call on death that quels affections rage.
Which death shall dwell with me and neuer flie,
Since vaine desire seekes that hope doth denie.
