XI. Sweet theefe

Sweet theefe, when me of heart you reft,
You did a murther and a theft,
And could you oft more cruell doe,
Then rob a man, and kill him too?
Wherefore of loue I craue this meede,
To bring you where you did the deede,
That there you may for him disgracing,
Suffer in chaines, of my imbracing.
