SONNET 36 by William Shakespeare.



Let me confess that we two must be twain, 
Although our undivided loves are one: 
So shall those blots that do with me remain 
Without thy help by me be borne alone. 
In our two loves there is but one respect, 
Though in our lives a separable spite, 
Which though it alter not love's sole effect,
Yet doth it steal sweet hours from love's delight.
I may not evermore acknowledge thee, 
Lest my bewailed guilt should do thee shame,
Nor thou with public kindness honour me, 
Unless thou take that honour from thy name: 
But do not so;
I love thee in such sort 
As, thou being mine, mine is thy good report.
