Stoute resolution. [Sonnet XLIX]
Against that time (if ever that time come)
When I shall see thee frowne on my defects,
When as thy love hath cast his utmost summe,
Cald to that audite by advis'd respects,
Against that time when thou shalt strangely passe,
And scarcely greete me with that sunne thine eye,
When love converted from the thing it was
Shall reasons finde of setled gravitie.

-- --

Against that time doe I in sconce me here
Within the knowledge of mine owne desart,
And this my hand, against my selfe upreare,
To guard the lawfull reasons on thy part,
To leave poore me, thou hast the strength of lawes,
Since why to love, I can alledge no cause.
