Sonnet LVII
|
|
| Being your slave, what should I do but tend | 1
| Upon the hours and times of your desire? | 2
| I have no precious time at all to spend, | 3
| Nor services to do, till you require. | 4
| Nor dare I chide the world-without-end hour | 5
| Whilst I, my sovereign, watch the clock for you, | 6
| Nor think the bitterness of absence sour | 7
| When you have bid your servant once adieu; | 8
| Nor dare I question with my jealous thought | 9
| Where you may be, or your affairs suppose, | 10
| But, like a sad slave, stay and think of nought | 11
| Save, where you are how happy you make those. | 12
| So true a fool is love that in your will, | 13
| Though you do any thing, he thinks no ill. | 14
