Sonnet 58. That god forbid, that made me first your slave
That god forbid, that made me first your slave
I should in thought control your times of pleasure
Or at your hand th' account of hours to crave
Being your vassal bound to stay your leisure.
O let me suffer (being at your beck)
Th' imprisoned absence of your liberty
And patience tame to sufferance bide each check
Without accusing you of injury.
