Sonnet #456

How can it be that thee grows more and more fair
As time goes by, life goes on to see thee grow into what thee is
That is what thee has grown into is a complexion of alder, I swear
Though more the less, what I have grown into is a Caitiff for thee's kiss
For thee's love and face and being, I dribble when I'm with thee
Thee shall never leave thou's sight for blessed or for worse
I'd rather die then do so without thee, my lovely
Without thee, I shall fall into despair and misery and forever be cursed
So be with me, my love, my true soul and partner in this life
My love for thee will any day flourish with compassion and understanding
For what we can be together, on day, thou can be husband and thee can be wife
For thee's love, Thou will be demanding, Thou will be demanding
For a life without thee is more cursed and thou's love has calapased
Then a Life with beauty and fairness unsirpassed
