“If thy soul check thee that I come so near”
Sonnet CXXXVI
| IF thy soul check thee that I come so near |
|
| Swear to thy blind soul that I was thy Will, |
|
| And will, thy soul knows, is admitted there; |
|
| Thus far for love, my love-suit, sweet, fulfil. |
|
| Will will fulfil the treasure of thy love, |
5 |
| Ay, fill it full with wills, and my will one. |
|
| In things of great receipt with ease we prove |
|
| Among a number one is reckon’d none: |
|
| Then in the number let me pass untold, |
|
| Though in thy stores’ account I one must be; |
10 |
| For nothing hold me, so it please thee hold |
|
| That nothing me, a something sweet to thee: |
|
| Make but my name thy love, and love that still, |
|
| And then thou lov’st me,—for my name is Will. |
