Take All My Loves (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 blam’d, if thou thy self deceivest |
| By wilful taste of what thyself refusest |
| I do forgive thy robbery, 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 |
