To his Love from whom he had her Gloves


WHAT needs these threatening words and wasted wind?
All this cannot make me restore my prey.
To rob your goods, I wis is not my mind,
Nor causeless your fair hand did I display.
Let Love be judge, or else whom next we find,	5
That may both hear what you and I can say.
She reft my heart, and I a glove from her:
Let us see then, if one be worth the other.
