Sonnet 32 by Thomas Lodge
A thousand times to think and think the same To two fair eyes to show a naked heart, Great thirst with bitter liquor to restrain, To take repast of care and crooked smart; To sigh full oft without relent of ire, To die for grief and yet conceal the tale, To others' will to fashion my desire, To pine in looks disguised through pensive-pale; A short despite, a faith unfeigned true, To love my foe, and set my life at naught, With heedless eyes mine endless harms to view A will to speak, a fear to tell the thought; To hope for all, yet for despair to die, Is of my life the certain destiny.
