No more be griev\'d at that which thou hast done:

Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud,

Clouds and eclipses stain both moon and sun,

And loathsome canker lives in sweetest bud.

All men make faults, and even I in this,

Authorizing thy trespass with compare,

Myself corrupting, salving thy amiss,

Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are;

For to thy sensual fault I bring in sense\\u2014

Thy adverse party is thy advocate\\u2014

And \'gainst myself a lawful plea commence.

Such civil war is in my love and hate,

\\xa0 \\xa0 That I an accessary needs must be

\\xa0 \\xa0 To that sweet thief which sourly robs from me.
