¶Liedtext

When thou shalt be dispos'd to set me light, And place my merit in the eye of scorn, Upon thy side against myself I'll fight And prove thee virtuous though thou art forsworn: With mine own weakness, being best acquainted, Upon my part I can set down a story Of faults concealed, wherein I am attainted That thou in losing me shall win much glory: And I by this will be a gainer too, For bending all my longing thoughts on thee, The injuries that to myself I do, Doing thee vantage, double vantage me. Such is my love, to thee I so belong, That for thy right, myself will bear all wrong. ''William Shakespeare (Sonnet LXXXVIII)''
