Sonnet XXXIX.

[Heere end my sorrow no here my sorrow springeth]

Heere end my sorrow no here my sorrow springeth,
Here end my woe no here begins my wailing:
Here cease my griefe no here my griefe deepe wringeth
Sorrow woe griefe nor ought else is auailing.
Here cease my teares no here begins eies weeping,
Here end my plaints no here begins my pining:
Here hart be free no sighes in hart still keeping,
Teares plaints and sighes all cause of ioyes declining.
Here end my loue no here doth loue inspire me,
Here end my hope no here doth hope faire florish:
Heere end my life no let not death desire me,
Loue hope and life and all with me must perish.
For sorrow woe griefe teares and plaints oft plained,
Sighes loue hope life and I must die disdained.
