5. Whoso list to hunt, I know where is an hind,
But as for me, hélas, I may no more.
The vain travail hath wearied me so sore,
I am of them that farthest cometh behind.
Yet may I by no means my wearied mind
Draw from the deer, but as she fleeth afore
Fainting I follow. I leave off therefore,
Sithens in a net I seek to hold the wind.
Who list her hunt, I put him out of doubt,
As well as I may spend his time in vain.
And graven with diamonds in letters plain
There is written, her fair neck round about:
Noli me tangere, for Caesar's I am,
And wild for to hold, though I seem tame.

6. Desire, though thou my old companion art,
And oft so clings to my pure Love that I
One from the other scarcely can descry,
While each doth blow the fire of my heart,
Now from thy fellowship I needs must part;
Venus is taught with Dian’s wings to fly;
I must no more in thy sweet passions lie;
Virtue’s gold now must head my Cupid’s dart.
Service and honor, wonder with delight,
Fear to offend, will worthy to appear,
Care shining in mine eyes, faith in my sprite:
These things are let me by my only dear;
But thou, Desire, because thou wouldst have all,
Now banished art. But yet alas how shall?

7.  Sonnet: a lyric poem comprising 14 rhyming lines of equal length:
iambic pentameters in English, alexandrines in French,
hendecasyllables in Italian. The rhyme schemes of the sonnet follow
two basic patterns.
 The Italian sonnet (also called the Petrarchan sonnet after the most
influential of the Italian sonneteers) comprises an 8-line 'octave' of two
quatrains, rhymed abbaabba, followed by a 6-line 'sestet' usually
rhymed cdecde or cdcdcd. The transition from octave to sestet usually
coincides with a 'turn' (Italian, volta) in the argument or mood of the
poem. The Italian pattern has remained the most widely used in
English and other languages.
