| IN 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, | 5 |
| When I break twenty? I am perjur’d 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; | 10 |
| And, to enlighten thee, gave eyes to blindness, | |
| Or made them swear against the thing they see; | |
| For I have sworn thee fair; more perjur’d I, | |
| To swear against the truth so foul a lie! |
