Giles Fletcher The Elder - Licia Sonnets 50

Ah Licia, sigh and say thou art my own; br Nay, be my own, as you full oft have said. br So shall your truth unto the world be known, br And I resolved where now I am afraid. br And if my tongue eternize can your praise, br Or silly speech increase your worthy fame, br If ought I can, to heaven your worth can raise, br The age to come shall wonder at the same. br In this respect your love, sweet love, I told, br My faith and truth I vowed should be forever. br You were the cause if that I was too bold; br Then pardon this my fault or love me never. br But if you frown I wish that none believe me, br For slain with sighs I'll die before I grieve thee.
