Sonnet XXXIIII.
[Why should a Maydens hart be of that proofe]
Why should a Maydens hart be of that proofe,as to resist the sharpe-point'd darte of loue?
My Mistres eye kills strongest man aloofe,
mee thinks he's weak that cannot quaile a Doue.
A louely Doue, so faire and so diuine,
able to make what Cynick so e're liueth,
Vpon his knees to beg of her bright eyne
one smiling looke, which life frō death reuiueth.
The frozen hart of cold Zenocrates,
had beene dissolued into hote desire,
Had Phryne cast such sun-beames from her eyes,
(such eyes are cause that my hart flames in fire.)
And yet with patience I must take my woe,
In that my deerest loue will haue it so.
