Those
pretty wrongs that liberty commits,
When I am
sometime absent from thy heart,
Thy
beauty, and thy years full well befits,
For still
temptation follows where thou art.
Gentle
thou art, and therefore to be won,
Beauteous
thou art, therefore to be assailed.
And when a
woman woos, what woman's son,
Will
sourly leave her till he have prevailed?
Ay me, but
yet thou mightst my seat forbear,
And chide
thy beauty, and thy straying youth,
Who lead
thee in their riot even there
Where thou
art forced to break a twofold truth:
Hers by
thy beauty tempting her to thee,
Thine by
thy beauty being false to me.
Wow, fine
