Sonnet XXXVI.
[Long did I wish before I could attaine]
Long did I wish before I could attainethe lookt for sight I so desir'd to see,
Too soone at last I saw what bred my baine,
and euer since hath sore tormented mee;
I sawe her selfe, whom had I neuer seene,
my wealth of blisse had not been turn'd to baile,
Greedy regard of her, my harts sole Queene,
hath chang'd my sommers sun, to winters haile.
How oft haue I, since that first fatall howre,
beheld her all-faire shape with begging eye,
Till shee (vnkind) hath kild me with a lowre,
and bad my humble-suing lookes, looke by.
O pitty mee (faire Loue) and highest fame
Shall blazed be in honour of thy name.
