Michael Drayton - Sonnet XV: Since to Obtain Thee
Work rating: Low

His Remedy for Love

Since to obtain thee nothing will be stead, 
I have a med`cine that shall cure my love, 
The powder of her heart dried, when she is dead, 
That gold nor honor ne`er had power to move, 
Mixt with her tears, that ne`er her true-love crost 
Nor at fifteen ne`er long`d to be a bride, 
Boil`d with her sighs in giving up the ghost, 
That for her late deceased husband died; 
Into the same then let a woman breathe, 
That, being chid, did never word reply, 
With one thrice-married`s prayers, that did bequeath 
A legacy to stale virginity. 
If this receipt have not the power to win me, 
Little I`ll say, but think the Devil`s in me.
