Other Sonnets vpon other Subiects, 15

WHen Will doth long t'effect his own desires
She makes the Wit (as Vassall to the Wil)
To do what she (how ere vnright) requires,
Which Wit doth (though repiningly) fulfill.
Yet, as well pleas'd (ô temporizing Wit!)
He seems t'effct hir pleasure willingly;
And all his Reasons to hir Reach doth fit;
So, like the World, gets loue by flattery.
That this is true, a Thousand Witnesses
(Impartial Conscience) wil directly proue;
Then. if we would not willingly transgresse
Our Will should swayed be by Rule of Loue:
Which hides the Multitude of Sins because,
Hir Sire, thereby, to him his Seruants drawes.
