In loving thee thou know'st I am forsworn... (Sonnet CLII) Lyrics

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

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

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

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 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 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
