    Say It Again

    What’s new to speak, what new to register,
    That may express my love or thy dear merit?
    Nothing, sweet… but yet, like prayers divine,
    I must, each day say o’er the very same.

    –Sonnet CVIII (108)

  • Player’s Poem

    Player’s Poem

    ‘This man’s untrue,’
    And knew the patterns of his foul beguiling;
    Heard where his plants in others’ orchards grew,
    Saw how deceits were gilded in his smiling;
    Knew vows were ever brokers to defiling;
    Thought characters and words merely but art,
    And bastards of his foul adulterate heart.

    –A Lover’s Complaint

  • Unsatisfactory Strumpet

    Unsatisfactory Strumpet

    She burn’d with love, as straw with fire flameth;
    She burn’d out love, as soon as straw outburneth…

    Was this a lover, or a lecher whether?
    Bad in the best, though excellent in neither.

    –-The Passionate Pilgrim
