Sonnet 10

UNRIGHTEOUS Lord of loue^[1], what law is this,

That me thou makest thus tormented be:

The whiles she lordeth in licentious^[2] blisse

Of her freewill, scorning both thee and me.

See how the Tyrannesse doth joy to see

The huge massàcres which her eies do make:

And humbled harts brings captiues unto thee^[3],

That thou of^[4] them mayst mightie vengeance take.

But her proud hart doe thou a little shake,

And that high look, with which she doth comptroll^[5]

All this worlds pride, bow to a baser make^[6],

And al her faults in thy black booke enroll.

That I may laugh at her in equall sort,

As she doth laugh at me, and makes my pain her sport.
