Sonnet XCII
But do thy worst to steal thyself away,
1
For term of life thou art assured mine,
2
And life no longer than thy love will stay,
3
For it depends upon that love of thine.
4
Then need I not to fear the worst of wrongs,
5
When in the least of them my life hath end.
6
I see a better state to me belongs
7
Than that which on thy humour doth depend;
8
Thou canst not vex me with inconstant mind,
9
Since that my life on thy revolt doth lie.
10
O, what a happy title do I find,
11
Happy to have thy love, happy to die!
12
But what's so blessed-fair that fears no blot?
13
Thou mayst be false, and yet I know it not.
