For shame, deny that thou bear'st love to any <br />Who for thy self art so unprovident. <br />Grant, if thou wilt, thou art beloved of many, <br />But that thou none lov'st is most evident; <br />For thou art so possessed with murd'rous hate, <br />That 'gainst thy self thou stick'st not to conspire, <br />Seeking that beauteous roof to ruinate <br />Which to repair should be thy chief desire. <br />O, change thy thought, that I may change my mind! <br />Shall hate be fairer lodged than gentle love? <br />Be as thy presence is gracious and kind, <br />Or to thy self at least kind-hearted prove, <br /> Make thee another self, for love of me, <br /> That beauty still may live in thine or thee.<br /><br />William Shakespeare<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-10-for-shame-deny-that-thou-bear-st-love/
