Shakespeare
Sonnet
40
:Take
all my loves, my love, yea, take them all
?What
hast thou then more than thou hadst before
-No
love, my love, that thou mayst true love call
.All
mine was thine before thou hadst this more
,Then
if for my love thou my love receivest
;I
cannot blame thee for my love thou usest
But
yet be blamed if thou this self deceivest
.By
wilful taste of what thyself refusest
,I
do forgive thy robb’ry, gentle thief
;Although
thou steal thee all my poverty
And
yet love knows it is a greater grief
.To
bear love’s wrong than hate’s known injury
, Lascivious
grace, in whom all ill well shows
. Kill me with
spites, yet we must not be foes
