Henry King

Here you will find the Poem SONNET. When I entreat, either thou wilt not hear of poet Henry King

SONNET. When I entreat, either thou wilt not hear

When I entreat, either thou wilt not hear, 
Or else my suit arriving at thy ear 
Cools and dies there. A strange extremitie 
To freeze ith' Sun, and in the shade to frie. 
Whil'st all my blasted hopes decline so soon, 
Tis Evening with me, though at high Noon. 
For pity to thy self, if not to me 
Think time will ravish, what I lose, from thee. 
If my scorcht heart wither through thy delay, 
Thy beauty withers too. And swift decay 
Arrests thy Youth. So thou whil'st I am slighted 
Wilt be too soon with age or sorrow nighted.
