Since the first look that led me to this error, <br />To this thought's-maze, to my confusion tending, <br />Still have I liv'd in grief, in hope, in terror, <br />The circle of my sorrows never ending. <br />Yet cannot leave her love that holds me hateful; <br />Her eyes exact it, though her heart disdains me; <br />See what reward he hath that serves th'ungrateful; <br />So true and loyal love no favors gains me. <br />Still must I whet my young desires abated, <br />Upon the flint of such a heart rebelling; <br />And all in vain, her pride is so innated, <br />She yields no place at all for pity's dwelling. <br />Oft have I told her that my soul did love her, <br />And that with tears, yet all this will not move her.<br /><br />Samuel Daniel<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-xviii-since-the-first-look/
