Sonnet 87. Farewell! thou art too dear for my possessing
Farewell! thou art too dear for my possessing
And like enough thou know'st thy estimate
The charter of thy worth gives thee releasing:
My bonds in thee are all determinate.
For how do I hold thee but by thy granting
And for that riches where is my deserving?
The cause of this fair gift in me is wanting
And so my patent back again is swerving.
