| <BLOCKQUOTE>Accuse me thus: that I have scanted all<BR> | |
| Wherein I should your great deserts repay,<BR> | |
| Forgot upon your dearest love to call,<BR> | |
| Whereto all bonds do tie me day by day;<BR> | |
| That I have frequent been with unknown minds<BR> | |
| And given to time your own dear-purchased right<BR> | |
| That I have hoisted sail to all the winds<BR> | |
| Which should transport me farthest from your sight.<BR> | |
| Book both my wilfulness and errors down<BR> | |
| And on just proof surmise accumulate;<BR> | |
| Bring me within the level of your frown,<BR> | |
| But shoot not at me in your waken'd hate;<BR> | |
| Since my appeal says I did strive to prove<BR> | |
| The constancy and virtue of your love.<BR> | |
