A Love-Suite. [Sonnet CXXXV / Sonnet CXXXVI]
Who ever hath her wish, thou hast thy Will,
And Will too boote, and Will in over-plus,
More than enough am I that vexe thee still,
To thy sweet will making addition thus.
Wilt thou, whose will is large and spacious,
Not once vouchsafe to hide my will in thine,
Shall will in others seeme right gracious,
And in my will no faire acceptance shine:
The sea all water, yet receives raine still,
And in abundance addeth to his store,
So thou being rich in Will adde to thy Will,
One will of mine to make thy large Will more.
Let no unkinde, no faire beseechers kill,
Thinke all but one, and me in that one Will.
If thy soule checke thee that I come so neere,
Sweare to thy blinde soule that I was thy Will,
And will thy soule knowes is admitted there,
Thus farre for love, my Love-suite sweet fulfill.
Will, will fulfill the treasure of thy love,
I fill it full with wills, and my will one,

-- --

In things of great receipt with ease we prove,
Among a number one is reckon'd none.
Then in the number let me passe untold,
Though in thy stores account I one must be,
For nothing hold me so it please thee hold,
That nothing me, a some-thing sweet to thee.
Make but my name thy love, and love that still,
And then thou lovest me, for my name is Will.
