SONNET. V.


It is reported of faire Thetis Sonne,
     (Achilles famous for his chiualry,
     His noble minde and magnanimity,)
That when the Troian wars were new begun,
VVhos'euer was deepe-wounded with his speare,
     Could neuer be�recured of his maime,
     Nor euer after be made whole againe:
Except with that speares rust he holpen were.
Euen so it fareth with my fortune now,
     VVho being wounded with his piercing eie,
     Must either thereby finde a remedy,
Or els to be releeu'd I know not how.
     Then if thou hast a minde stil to annoy me,
     Kill me with kisses, if thou wilt destroy me.
