1 No more be griev'd at that which thou hast done: 2 Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud; 3 Clouds and eclipses stain both moon and sun, 4 And loathsome canker lives in sweetest bud. 5 All men make faults, and even I in this, 6 Authorizing thy trespass with compare, 7 Myself corrupting, salving thy amiss, 8 Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; 9 For to thy sensual fault I bring in sense 10 Thy adverse party is thy advocate 11 And 'gainst myself a lawful plea commence: 12 Such civil war is in my love and hate 13 That I an accessary needs must be 14 To that sweet thief which sourly robs from me.
