Farewell (Sonnet 87) |
Farewell, thou art too dear for my possessing |
And like enough thou know’st thy estimate |
The charter of thy worth gives thee releasing |
My bonds in thee are all determinate |
For how do I hold thee but by thy granting |
And for that riches where is my deserving? |
The cause of this fair gift in me is wanting |
And so my patent back again is swerving |
Thyself thou gav’st, thy own worth then not knowing |
Or me, to whom thou gav’st it, else mistaking |
So thy great gift, upon misprision growing |
Comes home again, on better judgment making |
Thus have I had thee as a dream doth flatter |
In sleep a king, but waking no such matter |
