SONNET XV.
[Where or to whom then shall I make complaint]
Where or to whom then shall I make complaint,By guilefull wyles, of myne hartes guide depriued?
With rightes iniustice, and vnkind constraint
Barr'd from her loues which my desertes atchiued.
This though thou sought to choake farre more reuiued
Within myne hartlesse brest, left almost sencelesse,
Oh make exchange, surrender thine for myne,
Least that my body voyde of guide be fencelesse,
So shalt thou pawne to me signe for a signe
Of thy sweete conscience, when I shall resigne
Thy loues large Charter, and thy bondes againe.
Oh but I feare myne hopes be voyde, or mencelesse,
No course is left, which might thy loues attaine:
Whether with sighes I sewe, or teares complaine.
