Sonnet 134

1 So now I have confessed that he is thine,
2 And I my self am mortgaged to thy will,
3 My self I’ll forfeit, so that other mine,
4 Thou wilt restore to be my comfort still:
5 But thou wilt not, nor he will not be free,
6 For thou art covetous, and he is kind,
7 He learned but surety-like to write for me,
8 Under that bond that him as fist doth bind.
9 The statute of thy beauty thou wilt take,
10 Thou usurer that put’st forth all to use,
11 And sue a friend, came debtor for my sake,
12 So him I lose through my unkind abuse.
13 Him have I lost, thou hast both him and me,
14 He pays the whole, and yet am I not free.
