\n2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Here on my knee, before high heaven and you,
\n3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 That before you, and next unto high heaven,
\n4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I love your son.
\n5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 My friends were poor, but honest; so’s my love:
\n6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Be not offended; for it hurts not him
\n7.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 That he is loved of me: I follow him not
\n8.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 By any token of presumptuous suit;
\n9.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Nor would I have him till I do deserve him;
\n10.\u00a0\u00a0Yet never know how that desert should be.
\n11.\u00a0\u00a0 I know I love in vain, strive against hope;
\n12.\u00a0\u00a0Yet in this captious and intenible sieve
\n13.\u00a0\u00a0 I still pour in the waters of my love
\n14.\u00a0\u00a0And lack not to lose still: thus, Indian-like,
\n15.\u00a0\u00a0 Religious in mine error, I adore
\n16.\u00a0\u00a0The sun, that looks upon his worshipper,
\n17.\u00a0\u00a0 But knows of him no more. My dearest madam,
\n18.\u00a0\u00a0 Let not your hate encounter with my love
\n19.\u00a0\u00a0 For loving where you do: but if yourself,
\n20.\u00a0\u00a0Whose aged honour cites a virtuous youth,
\n21.\u00a0\u00a0 Did ever in so true a flame of liking
\n22.\u00a0\u00a0 Wish chastely and love dearly, that your Dian
\n23.\u00a0\u00a0 Was both herself and love: O, then, give pity
\n24.\u00a0\u00a0 To her, whose state is such that cannot choose
\n25.\u00a0\u00a0 But lend and give where she is sure to lose;
\n26.\u00a0\u00a0 That seeks not to find that her search implies,
\n27.\u00a0\u00a0 But riddle-like lives sweetly where she dies!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
