Lord of my love, to whom in vassalage
Thy merit hath my dutie strongly knit; To thee I send this written ambassage To witnesse dutie, not to shew my wit. Dutie so great, which wit so poore as mine May make seeme bare, in wanting words to shew it; But that I hope some good conceit of thine In thy soules thought (all naked) will bestow it: Till whatsoever star that guides my moving, Points on me graciously with faire aspect, And puts apparrall on my tottered loving, To show me worthy of their sweet respect, Then may I dare to boast how I doe love thee, Till then, not show my head where thou maist prove me.
