turn white and swoon at tragic shows ; That not a heart which in his level cameCould scape the hail of his all-hurting aim,Showing fair nature is both kind and tame;And, veiled in them, did win whom he would maimAgainst the thing he sought he would exclaim ;When he most burned in heart-wished luxury,He preached pure maid, and praised cold chastity. Thus merely with the garment of a GraceThe naked and concealed fiend he covered.That the unexperienced gave the tempter place,Which, like a cherubim, above them hovered.Who, young and simple, would not be so lovered ?Ah me ! I fell: and yet do question makeWhat I should do again for such a sake. O, that infected moisture of his eye,O, that false fire which in his cheek so (flowed,O, that forced thunder from his heart did fly,O, that sad breath his spongy lungs bestowcd.O, all that borrowed motion, seeming owed,Would yet again betray the fore-betrayed.And new pervert a reconciled maid ! ^ Cautels, deceitful purposes.2 Owed, owned ; lis own.

Did not the heavenly rhetoric of thine eye,Gainst whom the world could not hold argument,Persuade my heart to this false peijury ?V^ows for thee broke deserve not punishment.A woman I forswore ; but I will prove,Thou being a goddess, I forswore not thee :My vow was earthly, thou a heavenly love ;Thy grace being gained cures all disgrace in me.My vow was breath, and breath a vapor is:Then, thou fair sun, that on this earth doth shine,Exhale this vapor vow; in thee it is:If broken, then it is no fault of mine. If by me broke, what fool is not so wise To lose an oath to win a paradise ? ^ I The foregoing Sonnet appears, with some variations, in LovesLabor s Lost, the first edition of which was printed in 1598.
