  • Summary

  • Shakespeare tells his lover that he's happy to take the blame for a load of things in their relationship even if it wasn't his fault. Weird bloke.


    Sonnet 88

    When thou shalt be disposed to set me light,
    And place my merit in the eye of scorn,
    Upon thy side, against myself I'll fight,
    And prove thee virtuous, though thou art forsworn.
    With mine own weakness being best acquainted,
    Upon thy part I can set down a story
    Of faults concealed, wherein I am attainted;
    That thou in losing me shalt win much glory:
    And I by this will be a gainer too;
    For bending all my loving thoughts on thee,
    The injuries that to myself I do,
    Doing thee vantage, double-vantage me.
    Such is my love, to thee I so belong,
    That for thy right, myself will bear all wrong.
