Excerpt: ... XXV False hope prolongs my ever certain grief, Traitor to me, and faithful to my love. A thousand times it promised me relief, Yet never any true effect I prove. Oft when I find in her no truth at all, I banish her, and blame her treachery; Yet soon again I must her back recall; As one that dies without her company. Thus often, as I chase my hope from me, Straightway she hastes her unto Delia's eyes; Fed with some pleasing look, there shall she be, And so sent back. And thus my fortune lies; Looks feed my hope, hope fosters me in vain; Hopes are unsure when certain is my pain. XXVI Look in my griefs, and blame me not to mourn, From care to care that leads a life so bad; Th'orphan of fortune, born to be her scorn, Whose clouded brow doth make my days so sad. Long are their nights whose cares do never sleep, Loathsome their days who never sun yet joyed; The impression of her eyes do pierce so deep, That thus I live both day and night annoyed. Yet since the sweetest root yields fruit so sour, Her praise from my complaint I may not part; I love th'effect, the cause being of this power; I'll praise her face and blame her flinty heart, Whilst we both make the world admire at us, Her for disdain, and me for loving thus. XXVII Reign in my thoughts, fair hand, sweet eye, rare voice! Possess me whole, my heart's triumvirate! Yet heavy heart, to make so hard a choice Of such as spoil thy poor afflicted state! For whilst they strive which shall be lord of all, All my poor life by them is trodden down; They all erect their trophies on my fall, And yield me nought that gives them their renown. When back I look, I sigh my freedom past, And wail the state wherein I present stand, And see my fortune ever like to last, Finding me reined with such a heavy hand. What can I d...

Excerpt: ... xv When gentle beauty's over-wanton kindness, Had given love the liberty of playing, Change brought his eyesight by-and-by to blind-ness, Still hatching in excess her own decaying; Then cut I self-love's wings to lend him feathers, Gave him mine eyes to see in Myra's glory, Honour and beauty reconciled togethers, Of love the birth, the fatal tomb and story. Ah wag! no sooner he that sphere had gotten, But out of Myra's eyes my eyes he woundeth; And but his boy's play having all forgotten, His heat in her chaste coldness so confoundeth, As he that burns must freeze, who trusts must fear Ill-quartered coats which yet all lovers bear. XVI Fie, foolish earth, think you the heaven wants glory, Because your shadows do yourself benight? All's dark unto the blind; let them be sorry; The heavens in themselves are ever bright. Fie, fond desire, think you that love wants glory, Because your shadows do yourself benight? The hopes and fears of lust may make men sorry, But love still in herself finds her delight. Then earth, stand fast; the sky that you benight Will turn again and so restore your glory; Desire, be steady; hope is your delight, An orb wherein no creature can be sorry, Love being placed above these middle regions, Where every passion wars itself with legions. Xvii Cynthia, whose glories are at full for ever, Whose beauties draw forth tears and kindle fires, Fires which kindled once are quenched never, So beyond hope your worth bears up desires! Why cast you clouds on your sweet looking eyes? Are you afraid they show me too much pleasure? Strong nature decks the grave wherein it lies, Excellence can never be expressed in measure. Are you afraid because my heart adores you, The world will think I hold Endymion's place? Hippolytus, sweet Cynthia, kneeled be...
