Sonnet XII.
[Cœlia, of all svveet courtesies resolue me]
Cœlia, of all svveet courtesies resolue me,For vvished grace, hovv must I novv be doing,
Since Ops the cōplet'st frame vvhich did absolue thee,
Hath made each parcell to my sole vndoing?
Those vvires vvhich should thy corps to mine vnite,
Be raies to daze vs from so neere approch,
Thine eyne vvhich should my nighted sailers light,
Be shot to keepe them off vvith foule reproch.
Those ruddie plummes embrevv'd vvith heauenly foods,
Whē I vvould sucke thē turne to driest currall,
And vvhen I couch betvveene her lillie buds,
They surge like frothie vvater mounts aboue all:
Surelie they vvere all made vnto good vses,
But she them all vntovvardly abuses.
