Amoretti: Sonnet 12 Lyrics by Edmund Spenser

Amoretti and Epithalamion

0

One day I sought with her hart-thrilling eies
    to make a truce and termes to entertaine:
    all fearlesse then of so false enimies,
    which sought me to entrap in treasons traine.
So as I then disarmed did remaine,
    a wicked ambush which lay hidden long
    in the close covert of her guilefull eyen,
    thence breaking forth did thick about me throng.
Too feeble I t'abide the brunt so strong,
    was forst to yeeld my selfe into their hands:
    who me captiving streight with rigorous wrong,
    have ever since me kept in cruell bands.
So Ladie now to you I doo complaine,
    against your eies that justice I may gaine.
