Sonnet XXVI

No more be fear’d that forgiv’ness tis lost,

For pardon doth hold heart’s window ajar

Within such response spare all burden cost,

Where kindness be known in smile from afar

All that guilt doth seek, joy doth remember;

And excusing doubt tis author of thy trespass

What sweet urge this cloud eclipsing ember

To take thy word and all hereto surpass

Loathsome be all that bear cankered hate true,

For corrupting tis boldly worn in heart

And purity’s plea surely robs the view,

That seeks the soul to avenge its part

So trespass not as sweet revenge depart;

Let neighbor bear not malice from the start.
