Sonnet 46
Plain-path'd Experience the vnlearneds guide, Her simple followers euidently shewes, Sometime what schoolemen scarcely can decide, Nor yet wise Reason absolutely knowes: In making triall of a murther wrought, If the vile actor of the heinous deede, Neere the dead bodie happily be brought, Oft hath been prou'd the breathlesse coarse will bleed; She comming neere that my poore hart hath slaine, Long since departed, (to the world no more) The auncient wounds no longer can containe, But fall to bleeding as they did before: But what of this? should she to death be led, It furthers iustice, but helpes not the dead.
