written by William ShakespeareIn loving thee thou know'st I am forsworn,
But thou art twice forsworn, to me love swearing,
In act thy bed-vow broke and new faith torn,
In vowing new hate after new love bearing.
But why of two oaths' breach do I accuse thee,
When I break twenty? I am perjured most;
For all my vows are oaths but to misuse thee
And all my honest faith in thee is lost,
For I have sworn deep oaths of thy deep kindness,
Oaths of thy love, thy truth, thy constancy,
And, to enlighten thee, gave eyes to blindness,
Or made them swear against the thing they see;
For I have sworn thee fair; more perjured I,
To swear against the truth so foul a lie!

So oft have I invoked thee for my Muse,
And found such fair assistance in my verse
As every alien pen hath got my use,

No longer mourn for me when I am dead
Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell
Give warning to the world that I am fled

When I consider every thing that grows
Holds in perfection but a little moment.

Blow, blow, thou winter wind
Thou art not so unkind
As man's ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,

Two loves I have, of comfort and despair,
Which like two spirits do suggest me still:
The better angel is a man right fair,

The quality of mercy is not strain'd.
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest:
