Philip Sidney - Sonnet 61: Oft With True Sighs
Work rating: Low

Oft with true sighs, oft with uncalled tears, 
Now with slow words, now with dumb eloquence 
I Stella`s eyes assail, invade her ears; 
But this at last is her sweet breath`d defense: 

That who indeed infelt affection bears, 
So captives to his saint both soul and sense, 
That wholly hers, all selfness he forbears, 
Thence his desires he learns, his life`s course thence. 

Now since her chaste mind hates this love in me, 
With chasten`d mind, I straight must show that she
Shall quickly me from what she hates remove. 

Oh Doctor Cupid, thou for me reply, 
Driv`n else to grant by angel`s sophistry, 
That I love not, without I leave to love.
