Michael Drayton - Sonnet LIX: As Love and IMichael Drayton - Sonnet LIX: As Love and I
Work rating: Low


As Love and I, late harbor`d in one inn, With proverbs thus each other entertain: "In Love there is no lack," thus I begin; "Fair words make fools," replieth he again; "Who spares to speak doth spare to speed," quoth I; "As well," saith he, "too forward as too slow"; "Fortune assists the boldest," I reply; "A hasty man," quoth he, "ne`er wanted woe"; "Labor is light where Love," quoth I, "doth pay"; Saith he, "Light burden`s heavy, if far borne"; Quoth I, "The main lost, cast the bye away"; "You have spun a fair thread," he replies in scorn. And having thus awhile each other thwarted, Fools as we met, so fools again we parted.
