Sonnet 152

1 In loving thee thou know’st I am forsworn,
2 But thou art twice forsworn to me love swearing,
3 In act thy bed-vow broke and new faith torn,
4 In vowing new hate after new love bearing:
5 But why of two oaths’ breach do I accuse thee,
6 When I break twenty? I am perjured most,
7 For all my vows are oaths but to misuse thee:
8 And all my honest faith in thee is lost.
9 For I have sworn deep oaths of thy deep kindness:
10 Oaths of thy love, thy truth, thy constancy,
11 And to enlighten thee gave eyes to blindness,
12 Or made them swear against the thing they see.
13 For I have sworn thee fair: more perjured I,
14 To swear against the truth so foul a lie.
