Here you will find the Poem Sonnet 34: Come Let Me Write of poet Sir Philip Sidney
Come, let me write. 'And to what end?' To ease A burthen'd heart. 'How can words ease, which are The glasses of thy daily vexing care?' Oft cruel fights well pictur'd forth do please. 'Art not asham'd to publish thy disease?' Nay, that may breed my fame, it is so rare. 'But will not wise men think thy words fond ware?' Then be they close, and so none shall displease. 'What idler thing than speak and not be heard?' What harder thing than smart, and not to speak? Peace, foolish wit, with wit my wit is marr'd. Thus write I while I doubt to write, and wreak My harms on ink's poor loss; perhaps some find Stella's great powers, that so confuse my mind.
