Image of her whom I love, more than she,Whose fair impression in my faithful heartMakes me her medal, and makes her love me,As Kings do coins, to which their stamps impartThe value: go, and take my heart from hence,Which now is grown too great and good for me:Honours oppress weak spirits, and our senseStrong objects dull; the more, the less we see.When you are gone, and Reason gone with you,Then Fantasy is queen and soul, and all;She can present joys meaner than you do;Convenient, and more proportional.So, if I dream I have you, I have you,For, all our joys are but fantastical.And so I 'scape the pain, for pain is true;And sleep which locks up sense, doth lock out all.After a such fruition I shall wake,And, but the waking, nothing shall repent;And shall to love more thankful sonnets makeThan if more honour, tears, and pains were spent.But dearest heart, and dearer image, stay;Alas, true joys at best are dream enough;Though you stay here you pass too fast away:For even at first life's taper is a snuff.Filied with her love, may I be rather grownMad with much heart, than idiot with none.
