1287I was not sick of any feare from thence.

1288 But when your countinance fild vp his line,

1289Then lackt I matter, that infeebled mine.

1291FArewell thou art too deare for my possessing,

1292And like enough thou knowst thy estimate,

1293The Charter of thy worth giues thee releasing:

1294My bonds in thee are all determinate.

1295For how do I hold thee but by thy granting,

1296And for that ritches where is my deseruing?

1297The cause of this faire guift in me is wanting,

1298And so my pattent back againe is sweruing.

1299Thy selfe thou gau'st, thy owne worth then not knowing,

1300Or mee to whom thou gau'st it, else mistaking,

1301So thy great guift vpon misprision growing,

1302Comes home againe, on better iudgement making.

1303 Thus haue I had thee as a dreame doth flatter,

1304In sleepe a King, but waking no such matter.

1306WHen thou shalt be dispode to set me light,

1307And place my merrit in the eie of skorne,

1308Vpon thy side, against my selfe ile fight,

1309And proue thee virtuous, though thou art forsworne:

1310With mine owne weakenesse being best acquainted,

1311Vpon thy part I can set downe a story

1312Of faults conceald, wherein I am attainted:

1313That thou in loosing me shall win much glory:

1314And I by this wil be a gainer too,

1315For bending all my louing thoughts on thee,

1316The iniuries that to my selfe I doe,

1317Doing thee vantage, duble vantage me.

1318 Such is my loue, to thee I so belong,

1319That for thy right, my selfe will beare all wrong.

1321SAy that thou didst forsake mee for some falt,

1322And I will comment vpon that offence,
