Sonnet #143
Lo as a careful huswife runs 2 catch,
One of her feathrd creatures broke away,
Sets down her babe & makes all swift dispatch
In pursuit of d thing she wud hv stay:
Whilst her neglected child holds her in chase,
Cries 2 catch her whose busy care is bent,
2 follow th@ which flies be4e her face:
nt prizing her poor infantz discontent;
So run'st thou after th@ which flies frm thee,
Whilst I thy babe chase thee afar behind,
bt if thou catch thy hope turn back 2 me:
& play d motherz part, kiss me, b kind.
So will I pray th@ thou mayst hv thy Will,
If thou turn back & my loud crying still.
