Love
Sonnet 37 (Sonnet 37)
From Idea
DEere, why should you commaund me to my …
When now the night doth sommon all to sleepe?
Me thinkes this time becommeth Louers best,
Night was ordaind together friends to keepe,
How happie are all other liuing things,
Which though the daie disjoyne by seuerall flight,
The quiet euening yet together brings,
And each returnes vnto his loue at night.
O thou that art… so cu…eous vnto all,
Whie shouldst thou Night abuse me onelie thus,
That euerie crea…ure to his kinde doost call,
And yet tis thou doost onelie seuer vs:
Well could I wish it would be euer daie,
If when night comes you bid me goe awaie.
