Wittes Pilgrimage, Sonnet 44

MY Mind to me a mighty Kingdom is;
Which I possesse, but not enioy in peace;
For if I did, I were a King of This,
But Loue, my right, doth force me to release,
If thou (great Loue) vsurpe anothers Right
Thou art a Tyrant; and thou must resolue
By fight to keep, what Thou hast got by fight;
If so of force, Thou must thy force dissolue:
For with Thy force thou canst not winne from me
My Mind, vnlesse Her force Thou quite defeate;
Which, it Thou do, it is the worse for thee:
For, tho defeatest That, that makes thee Great:
Then, ô be not too sell, but let that Shee
For, and by whom I liue, raign there with Thee.
