Richard Lovelace - SonnetRichard Lovelace - Sonnet
Work rating: Low


                    I. When I by thy faire shape did sweare, And mingled with each vowe a teare,     I lov`d, I lov`d thee best,     I swore as I profest. For all the while you lasted warme and pure,     My oathes too did endure. But once turn`d faithlesse to thy selfe and old, They then with thee incessantly grew cold.                     II. I swore my selfe thy sacrifice By th` ebon bowes that guard thine eyes,     Which now are alter`d white,     And by the glorious light Of both those stars, which of their spheres bereft,     Only the gellie`s left. Then changed thus, no more I`m bound to you, Then swearing to a saint that proves untrue.
