152In louing thee thou know'st I am forsworne,But thou art twice forsworne to me loue swearing;In act thy bed-vow broake and new faith torne,In vowing new hate after new loue bearing:But why of two othes breach doe I accuse thee,When I breake twenty: I am periur'd most,For all my vowes are othes but to misuse thee:And all my honest faith in thee is lost.For I haue sworne deepe othes of thy deepe kindnesse:Othes of thy loue, thy truth, thy constancie,And to inlighten thee gaue eyes to blindnesse,Or made them swere against the thing they see.For I haue sworne thee faire: more periurde eye,To swere against the truth fo foule a lie.
