Life and death. [Sonnet CXLV]
Those lips that Loves owne hand did make,
Breath'd forth the sound that said I hate,
To me that languisht for her sake:
But when she saw my wofull state,
Straight in her heart did mercy come,
Chiding that tongue that ever sweet,
Was usde in giving gentle doome:
And taught it thus a new to greete:
I hate she altered with an end,
That follow'd it as gentle day,
Doth follow night, who like a fiend
From heaven to hell is flowne away,
  I hate, from hate away she threw,
  And sav'd my life saying not you.
