Astrophel and Stella - Sonnet LXIV

Topics: classic

No more, my deare, no more these counsels trie;     O giue my passions leaue to run their race;     Let Fortune lay on me her worst disgrace;     Let folke orecharg'd with braine against me crie;     Let clouds bedimme my face, breake in mine eye;     Let me no steps but of lost labour trace;     Let all the earth with scorne recount my case,     But do not will me from my loue to flie.     I do not enuie Aristotless wit,     Nor do aspire to Csars bleeding fame;     Nor ought do care though some aboue me sit;     Nor hope, nor wish another course to frame     But that which once may win thy cruell hart:     Thou art my wit, and thou my vertue art.
