Sonnet 144. Two loves I have of comfort and despair
Two loves I have of comfort and despair
Which like two spirits do suggest me still
The better angel is a man right fair:
The worser spirit a woman coloured ill.
To win me soon to hell my female evil
Tempteth my better angel from my side
And would corrupt my saint to be a devil:
Wooing his purity with her foul pride.
