When thou shalt be disposed to set me light <br />And place my merit in the eye of scorn, <br />Upon thy side, against myself I'll fight, <br />And prove thee virtuous, though thou art forsworn. <br />With mine own weakness being best acquainted, <br />Upon thy part I can set down a story <br />Of faults concealed, wherein I am attainted, <br />That thou in losing me shalt win much glory. <br />And I by this will be a gainer too; <br />For bending all my loving thoughts on thee, <br />The injuries that to myself I do, <br />Doing thee vantage, double-vantage me. <br /> Such is my love, to thee I so belong, <br /> That for thy right, myself will bear all wrong.<br /><br />William Shakespeare<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-88-when-thou-shalt-be-disposed-to-set-me/
