Sonnet Vi: My Imprisoned Princess

Let me not to those who live openly Bring any barricades. For these four walls Around the heart of my princess lovely, I will make crumble! I'll cause them to fall!! Allow her I will not, to out here lock Me with my pleas for her permission to Bring down her walls, which stand steady as rock!! I will save her; my love I will rescue! One day, I vow, my love will let me see, Who she is behind that false masquerade! From that walled prison, I will set her free, And bring her, with me, to a love-filled glade! And should I fail, my princess's heart to save, I'll dig for myself my very own grave.
