SONNET LXIIII.
[If all the loues were lost, and should be founde]
If all the loues were lost, and should be founde,And all the graces glories were decayde,
In thee the graces ornamentes abounde,
In me the loues by thy sweet graces layde.
And if the muses had their voyce forgone,
And Venus husbandes forge had lost his fier,
The muses voyce, should by thy voyce be knowne,
And vulcanes heate, be sounde in my desier.
I will accuse thee to the goddes of thefte,
For Pallas eye, and Venus rosie cheeke,
And Phoebes forehead, which thou hast berefte,
Complaine of me to Cupid, let him seeke
In vayne for me each where, and in all partes,
For gainst my will, I stoule one of his dartes.
