NHB 151 - Sonnet Exploder (#40)
Inspired by the hit podcast Song Exploder, Kevin and Dan spend this episode breaking down and analyzing Shakespeare's Sonnet #40.
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 thyself deceivest
By wilful taste of what thyself 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 love\u2019s wrong than hate\u2019s known injury.
\xa0 \xa0 \xa0Lascivious grace, in whom all ill well shows,
\xa0 \xa0 \xa0Kill me with spites; yet we must not be foes.
