Sonnet 138: When My Love Swears That He Is Made Of Truth |
When my love swears that she is made of truth |
I do believe her, though I know she lies |
That she might think me some untutored youth |
Unlearned in the world’s false subtleties |
Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young |
Although she knows my days are past the best |
Simply I credit her false speaking tongue |
On both sides thus is simple truth suppressed |
O, I lie with her, and she lies with me |
In our faults by lies we flattered be |
But wherefore says she not she is unjust? |
And wherefore say not I that I am old? |
O, love’s best habit is in seeming trust |
And age in love loves not t' have years told |
I lie with her, and she lies with me |
In our faults by lies we flattered be |
