SIR THOMAS WORTLEY'S SONNET ANSWERED: THE ANSWER, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Again
Last Line: Her glorious, glorious name.


Again,
Thou witty Cruel Wanton, now again,
Through ev'ry Vein,
Hurl all your lightning, and strike ev'ry Dart.
Again,
Before I feel this pleasing, pleasing pain,
I have no Heart,
Nor can I live but sweetly murder'd with
So dear, so dear a smart.

Then fly,
And kindle all your Torches at her Eye,
To make me Dye
Her Martyr, and put on my Robe of Flame :
So I
Advanced on my blazing Wings on high,
In Death became
Enthron'd a Star, and Ornament unto
Her glorious, glorious name.
