Amoretti 57 Sweet Warrior! When Shall I Have Peace by Edmund Spenser Sonnet 57 Analysis - Amoretti 57 Sweet Warrior! When Shall I Have Peace by Edmund Spenser Sonnet 57 Summary

Amoretti LVII Sweet Warrior! When Shall I Have Peace by Edmund Spenser Sonnet 57
1552 – 1599

SWEET warrior! when shall I have peace with you
High time it is this war now ended were
Which I no longer can endure to sue,
Ne your incessant batt’ry more to bear:
So weak my powers, so sore my wounds, appear,
That wonder is how I should live a jot,
Seeing my heart through-lanced everywhere
With thousand arrows, which your eyes have shot:
Yet shoot ye sharply still, and spare me not,
But glory think to make these cruel stours,
Ye cruel one! what glory can be got,
In slaying him that would live gladly yours!
Make peace therefore, and grant me timely grace,
That all my wounds will heal in little space.
