61.
oft with true sighs oft with uncalled tears now with slow words now with dumb eloquence i stella's eyes assayed invade her ears but this at last is her sweet-breathed defence that who indeed infelt affection bears so captives to his saint both soul and sense that wholly hers all selfness he forbears
then his desires he learns his life's course thence now since her chaste mind hates this love in me with chastened mind i straight must show that she shall quickly me from what she hates remove o dr cupid thou for me reply driven else to grant by angel's sophistry that i love not without i leave to love sixty two
late tired with woe even ready for to pine with rage of love i called my love unkind she in whose eyes love though unfelt doth shine sweet said that i true love in her should find i joyed but straight thus watered was my wine that love she did but loved a love not blind which would not let me whom she loved decline from nobler course fit for my birth and mind
and therefore by her love's authority willed me these tempests of vain love to fly, and anchor fast myself on virtue's shore.
Alas, if this the only metal be of love new coined to help my beggary, dear, love me not, that ye may love me more.

oh grammar rules oh now your virtues show so children still read you with awful eyes as my young dove may in your precepts wise her grant to me by her own virtue know for late with heart most high with eyes most low i craved the thing which ever she denies she lightening love displaying venus skies lest once should not be heard twice said no
No.
Sing then, my muse.
Now I'll pee and sing.
Heavens envy not at my high triumphing.
But grammar's force with sweet success confirm.
For grammar says, O this dear Stella say.
For grammar says, to grammar who says nay, that in one speech two negatives affirm.
Sixty-four.
no more my dear no more these counsels try oh give my passions leave to run their race let fortune lay on me her worst disgrace let folk o'ercharged with brain against me cry let clouds bedim my face break in mine eye let me no steps but of lost labor trace let all the earth with scorn recount my case but do not will me for my love to fly
I do not envy Aristotle's wit, nor do aspire to Caesar's bleeding fame, nor ought to care though some above me sit, nor hope, nor wish another course to frame, but that which once may win thy cruel heart.
Thou art my wit, and thou my virtue art.
