Sonnet 60 (Sonnet 60)

DEfine my loue, and tell the ioyes of heauen,
Expresse my woes, and shew the paines of hell,
Declare what fate vnluckie starres haue giuen,
And aske a world vpon my life to dwell.
Make knowne that faith, vnkindnes could not moue;
Compare my worth with others base desart,
Let vertue be the tuch-stone of my loue,
So may the heauens reade wonders in my hart;
Beholde the cloudes which haue eclipsde my sunne,
And view the crosses which my course doth let;
Tell me, if euer since the world begunne,
So faire a rising had so foule a set:
And by all meanes, let foule vnkindnes proue,
And shew a second to so pure a loue.
