Sonnet 23

PENELOPE^[1], for her Ulisses^[2] sake,

Deuized a web her wooers to deceaue:

In which the worke that she all day did make

The same at night she did againe unreaue^[3].

Such subtile craft my damzell doth conceaue^[4],

Th'importune^[5] suit of my desire to shonne^[6]:

For all that I in many dayes doo weaue,

In one short houre I find by her undonne.
