Love
To Fantasie. Sonnet 27 (Sonnet 27)
From Idea
I Gaue my faith to Loue, Loue his to me,
That he and I sworne brothers should remaine,
Thus faith receiu'd, faith giuen backe againe,
Who would imagine bond more sure could be?
Loue flies to her, yet holdes he my faith taken,
As from my vertue raising my offence,
Making me guiltie by mine innocence;
And onelie bond by being so forsaken,
He makes her aske what I before had vow'd,
Giuing her that, which he had giuen mee,
I bound by him, and he by her made free.
Who euer so hard breach of faith allowd?
Speake you that should of right & wrong discusse,
Was right ere wrongd, or wrong ere righted thus?
