Sonet 8

Nothing but no and I, and I and no,

How falls it out so strangely you reply?

I tell yee (Faire) Ile not be aunswered so,

With this affirming no, denying I,

I say I loue, you slightly aunswer I?

I say you loue, you pule me out a no;

I say I die, you eccho me with I,

Saue me I cry, you sigh me out a no:

Must woe and I, haue naught but no and I?

No, I am I, If I no more can haue,

Aunswer no more, with silence make reply,

And let me take my selfe what I doe craue;

Let no and I, with I and you be so,

Then aunswer no, and I, and I, and no.
