Sonnet for Ann Isabella

When I reflect upon my vain conceit

And wonder why I praise my skill in duel,

This boasting, to my ears, sounds harsh and cruel

For out of hauteur I have found defeat.

So removed from right, who could I entreat

That would not call me villain, or a fool?

A noble head and gentle heart must rule,

A child’s smile o’er prize is the greater feat.

I claim no right to that, which I am held,

Yet such a fame may I forever seek

To earn the mark which she believes I own.

My sojourn ends only when I am kill’s,

And my reward is but to grow more weeks,

That I might bear my unworthy renown.
