If the dull substance of my flesh were thought,<br>
Injurious distance should not stop my way;<br>
For then despite of space I would be brought,<br>
From limits far remote, where thou dost stay.<br>
No matter then although my foot did stand<br>
Upon the farthest earth remov'd from thee;<br>
For nimble thought can jump both sea and land,<br>
As soon as think the place where he would be.<br>
But, ah! thought kills me that I am not thought,<br>
To leap large lengths of miles when thou art gone,<br>
But that so much of earth and water wrought,<br>
I must attend, time's leisure with my moan;<br>
Receiving nought by elements so slow<br>
But heavy tears, badges of either's woe.

The other two, slight air, and purging fire<br>
Are both with thee, wherever I abide;<br>
The first my thought, the other my desire,<br>
These present-absent with swift motion slide.<br>
For when these quicker elements are gone<br>
In tender embassy of love to thee,<br>
My life, being made of four, with two alone<br>
Sinks down to death, oppress'd with melancholy;<br>
Until life's composition be recur'd<br>
By those swift messengers return'd from thee,<br>
Who even but now come back again, assur'd,<br>
Of thy fair health, recounting it to me:<br>
This told, I joy; but then no longer glad,<br>
I send them back again, and straight grow sad.

Mine eye and heart are at a mortal war,<br>
How to divide the conquest of thy sight;<br>
Mine eye my heart thy picture's sight would bar,<br>
My heart mine eye the freedom of that right.<br>
My heart doth plead that thou in him dost lie,—<br>
A closet never pierc'd with crystal eyes—<br>
But the defendant doth that plea deny,<br>
And says in him thy fair appearance lies.<br>
To 'cide this title is impannelled<br>
A quest of thoughts, all tenants to the heart;<br>
And by their verdict is determined<br>
The clear eye's moiety, and the dear heart's part:<br>
As thus; mine eye's due is thy outward part,<br>
And my heart's right, thy inward love of heart.

Betwixt mine eye and heart a league is took,<br>
And each doth good turns now unto the other:<br>
When that mine eye is famish'd for a look,<br>
Or heart in love with sighs himself doth smother,<br>
With my love's picture then my eye doth feast,<br>
And to the painted banquet bids my heart;<br>
Another time mine eye is my heart's guest,<br>
And in his thoughts of love doth share a part:<br>
So, either by thy picture or my love,<br>
Thy self away, art present still with me;<br>
For thou not farther than my thoughts canst move,<br>
And I am still with them, and they with thee;<br>
Or, if they sleep, thy picture in my sight<br>
Awakes my heart, to heart's and eye's delight.

How careful was I when I took my way,<br>
Each trifle under truest bars to thrust,<br>
That to my use it might unused stay<br>
From hands of falsehood, in sure wards of trust!<br>
But thou, to whom my jewels trifles are,<br>
Most worthy comfort, now my greatest grief,<br>
Thou best of dearest, and mine only care,<br>
Art left the prey of every vulgar thief.<br>
Thee have I not lock'd up in any chest,<br>
Save where thou art not, though I feel thou art,<br>
Within the gentle closure of my breast,<br>
From whence at pleasure thou mayst come and part;<br>
And even thence thou wilt be stol'n I fear,<br>
For truth proves thievish for a prize so dear.

Against that time, if ever that time come,<br>
When I shall see thee frown on my defects,<br>
When as thy love hath cast his utmost sum,<br>
Call'd to that audit by advis'd respects;<br>
Against that time when thou shalt strangely pass,<br>
And scarcely greet me with that sun, thine eye,<br>
When love, converted from the thing it was,<br>
Shall reasons find of settled gravity;<br>
Against that time do I ensconce me here,<br>
Within the knowledge of mine own desert,<br>
And this my hand, against my self uprear,<br>
To guard the lawful reasons on thy part:<br>
To leave poor me thou hast the strength of laws,<br>
Since why to love I can allege no cause.

How heavy do I journey on the way,<br>
When what I seek, my weary travel's end,<br>
Doth teach that ease and that repose to say,<br>
'Thus far the miles are measured from thy friend!'<br>
The beast that bears me, tired with my woe,<br>
Plods dully on, to bear that weight in me,<br>
As if by some instinct the wretch did know<br>
His rider lov'd not speed, being made from thee:<br>
The bloody spur cannot provoke him on,<br>
That sometimes anger thrusts into his hide,<br>
Which heavily he answers with a groan,<br>
More sharp to me than spurring to his side;<br>
For that same groan doth put this in my mind,<br>
My grief lies onward, and my joy behind.

When I have seen by Time's fell hand defac'd<br>
he rich-proud cost of outworn buried age;<br>
hen sometime lofty towers I see down-raz'd,<br>
nd brass eternal slave to mortal rage;<br>
hen I have seen the hungry ocean gain<br>
dvantage on the kingdom of the shore,<br>
nd the firm soil win of the watery main,<br>
ncreasing store with loss, and loss with store;<br>
hen I have seen such interchange of state,<br>
r state itself confounded, to decay;<br>
uin hath taught me thus to ruminate— <br>
hat Time will come and take my love away.
:This thought is as a death which cannot choose
:But weep to have, that which it fears to lose.

Why with the time do I not glance aside<br>

Which eyes not yet created shall o'erread,<br>
And tongues to be your being shall rehearse<br>
When all the breathers of this world are dead.<br>
You still shall live—such virtue hath my pen—<br>
Where breath most breathes, even in the mouths of men.

I grant thou wert not married to my Muse,<br>
And therefore mayst without attaint o'erlook<br>
The dedicated words which writers use<br>
Of their fair subject, blessing every book.<br>
Thou art as fair in knowledge as in hue,<br>
Finding thy worth a limit past my praise;<br>
And therefore art enforced to seek anew<br>
Some fresher stamp of the time-bettering days.<br>
And do so, love; yet when they have devis'd,<br>
What strained touches rhetoric can lend,<br>
Thou truly fair, wert truly sympathiz'd<br>
In true plain words, by thy true-telling friend;<br>
And their gross painting might be better us'd<br>
Where cheeks need blood; in thee it is abus'd.

I never saw that you did painting need,<br>
And therefore to your fair no painting set;<br>
I found, or thought I found, you did exceed<br>
That barren tender of a poet's debt:<br>
And therefore have I slept in your report,<br>
That you yourself, being extant, well might show<br>
How far a modern quill doth come too short,<br>
Speaking of worth, what worth in you doth grow.<br>
This silence for my sin you did impute,<br>
Which shall be most my glory being dumb;<br>
For I impair not beauty being mute,<br>
When others would give life, and bring a tomb.<br>
There lives more life in one of your fair eyes<br>
Than both your poets can in praise devise.

Who is it that says most, which can say more,<br>
Than this rich praise,— that you alone, are you?<br>
In whose confine immured is the store<br>
Which should example where your equal grew.<br>
Lean penury within that pen doth dwell<br>
That to his subject lends not some small glory;<br>
But he that writes of you, if he can tell<br>
That you are you, so dignifies his story,<br>
Let him but copy what in you is writ,<br>
Not making worse what nature made so clear,<br>
And such a counterpart shall fame his wit,<br>
Making his style admired every where.<br>
You to your beauteous blessings add a curse,<br>
Being fond on praise, which makes your praises worse.

My tongue-tied Muse in manners holds her still,<br>
While comments of your praise richly compil'd,<br>
Reserve their character with golden quill,<br>
And precious phrase by all the Muses fil'd.<br>
I think good thoughts, whilst others write good words,<br>
And like unlettered clerk still cry 'Amen'<br>
To every hymn that able spirit affords,<br>
In polish'd form of well-refined pen.<br>
Hearing you praised, I say ' 'tis so, 'tis true,'<br>
And to the most of praise add something more;<br>
But that is in my thought, whose love to you,<br>
Though words come hindmost, holds his rank before.<br>
Then others, for the breath of words respect,<br>
Me for my dumb thoughts, speaking in effect.

Was it the proud full sail of his great verse,<br>
Bound for the prize of (all too precious) you,<br>
That did my ripe thoughts in my brain inhearse,<br>
Making their tomb the womb wherein they grew?<br>
Was it his spirit, by spirits taught to write,<br>
Above a mortal pitch, that struck me dead?<br>
No, neither he, nor his compeers by night<br>
Giving him aid, my verse astonished.<br>
He, nor that affable familiar ghost<br>
Which nightly gulls him with intelligence,<br>
As victors of my silence cannot boast,<br>
I was not sick of any fear from thence.<br>
But when your countenance fill'd up his line,<br>
Then lacked I matter, that enfeebled mine.

Farewell! thou art too dear for my possessing,<br>
And like enough thou know'st thy estimate,<br>
The charter of thy worth gives thee releasing:<br>
My bonds in thee are all determinate.<br>
For how do I hold thee but by thy granting,<br>
And for that riches where is my deserving?<br>
The cause of this fair gift in me is wanting,<br>
And so my patent back again is swerving.<br>
Thy self thou gav'st, thy own worth then not knowing,<br>
Or me to whom thou gav'st it, else mistaking,<br>
So thy great gift, upon misprision growing,<br>
Comes home again, on better judgement making.<br>
Thus have I had thee as a dream doth flatter,<br>
In sleep a King, but waking no such matter.

When thou shalt be dispos'd to set me light,<br>

Say that thou didst forsake me for some fault,<br>

Against thy reasons making no defence.<br>

As I'll myself disgrace; knowing thy will,<br>
I will acquaintance strangle, and look strange;<br>
Be absent from thy walks; and in my tongue<br>

And haply of our old acquaintance tell.<br>

Now, while the world is bent my deeds to cross,<br>
Join with the spite of fortune, make me bow,<br>
And do not drop in for an after-loss:<br>
Ah! do not, when my heart hath 'scap'd this sorrow,<br>
Come in the rearward of a conquer'd woe;<br>
Give not a windy night a rainy morrow,<br>
To linger out a purpos'd overthrow.<br>
If thou wilt leave me, do not leave me last,<br>
When other petty griefs have done their spite,<br>
But in the onset come: so shall I taste<br>
At first the very worst of fortune's might;<br>
And other strains of woe, which now seem woe,<br>
Compar'd with loss of thee, will not seem so.

Let me not to the marriage of true minds<br>
dmit impediments. Love is not love<br>
hich alters when it alteration finds,<br>
r bends with the remover to remove:<br>
, no! it is an ever-fixèd mark,<br>
hat looks on tempests and is never shaken;<br>
t is the star to every wandering bark,<br>
hose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.<br>
ove’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks<br>
ithin his bending sickle’s compass come;<br>
ove alters not with his brief hours and weeks,<br>
ut bears it out even to the edge of doom.<br>
nbsp; If this be error and upon me proved,<br>
nbsp; I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

When in the chronicle of wasted time<br>
see descriptions of the fairest wights,<br>
nd beauty making beautiful old rime,<br>
n praise of ladies dead and lovely knights,<br>
hen, in the blazon of sweet beauty's best,<br>
f hand, of foot, of lip, of eye, of brow,<br>
see their antique pen would have express'd<br>
ven such a beauty as you master now.<br>
o all their praises are but prophecies<br>
f this our time, all you prefiguring;<br>
nd for they looked but with divining eyes,<br>
hey had not skill enough your worth to sing:<br>
For we, which now behold these present days,<br>
Have eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise.

In faith I do not love thee with mine eyes, <br>
or they in thee a thousand errors note;<br>
ut 'tis my heart that loves what they despise,<br>
ho, in despite of view, is pleased to dote.<br>
or are mine ears with thy tongue's tune delighted;<br>
or tender feeling, to base touches prone,<br>
or taste, nor smell, desire to be invited<br>
o any sensual feast with thee alone:<br>
ut my five wits nor my five senses can<br>
issuade one foolish heart from serving thee,<br>
ho leaves unsway'd the likeness of a man,<br>
hy proud heart's slave and vassal wretch to be:
:Only my plague thus far I count my gain,
:That she that makes me sin awards me pain.

Love is my sin, and thy dear virtue hate,<br>
ate of my sin, grounded on sinful loving:<br>
! but with mine compare thou thine own state,<br>
nd thou shalt find it merits not reproving;<br>
r, if it do, not from those lips of thine, <br>
hat have profan'd their scarlet ornaments<br>
nd seal'd false bonds of love as oft as mine,<br>
obb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents.<br>
e it lawful I love thee, as thou lov'st those<br>
hom thine eyes woo as mine importune thee:<br>
oot pity in thy heart, that, when it grows,<br>
hy pity may deserve to pitied be.
:If thou dost seek to have what thou dost hide,
:By self-example mayst thou be denied!

Lo, as a careful housewife runs to catch<br>

hilst her neglected child holds her in chase,<br>
ries to catch her whose busy care is bent<br>
o follow that which flies before her face,<br>
ot prizing her poor infant's discontent;<br>
o runn'st thou after that which flies from thee, <br>
hilst I thy babe chase thee afar behind;<br>

Two loves I have of comfort and despair,<br>
hich like two spirits do suggest me still:<br>
he better angel is a man right fair,<br>
he worser spirit a woman colour'd ill.<br>
o win me soon to hell, my female evil,<br>
empteth my better angel from my side,<br>
nd would corrupt my saint to be a devil,<br>
ooing his purity with her foul pride.<br>
nd whether that my angel be turn'd fiend,<br>
uspect I may, yet not directly tell;<br>
ut being both from me, both to each friend,<br>
guess one angel in another's hell:
:Yet this shall I ne'er know, but live in doubt,
:Till my bad angel fire my good one out.

Those lips that Love's own hand did make,<br>
reathed forth the sound that said 'I hate',<br>
o me that languish'd for her sake:<br>
ut when she saw my woeful state,<br>
traight in her heart did mercy come,<br>
hiding that tongue that ever sweet<br>

I hate' she alter'd with an end,<br>

Poor soul, the centre of my sinful earth, <br>
