Sonnet #35
By: William Shakespeare
No more be grieved 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 makes 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,
Thy adverse party is thy advocate,
And 'gainst myself, a lawful plea commence.
Such civil war is in my love and hate,
That I an accessory needs must be,
To that sweet thief, which sourly robs from me.
