Take all
my loves, my love, yea take them all,
What hast
thou then more than thou hadst before?
No love,
my love, that thou mayst true love call,
All mine
was thine, before thou hadst this more:
Then if
for my love, thou my love receivest,
I cannot
blame thee, for my love thou usest,
But yet be
blamed, if thou thy self deceivest
By wilful
taste of what thy self refusest.
I do
forgive thy robbery gentle thief
Although
thou steal thee all my poverty:
And yet
love knows it is a greater grief
To bear
greater wrong, than hate's known injury.
Lascivious
grace, in whom all ill well shows,
Kill me
with spites yet we must not be foes.
