ΣΑΙΞΠΗΡ!

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (1564-1616)


[ACCUSE ME THUS: THAT I HAVE SCANTED ALL]

Accuse me thus: that I have scanted all,
Wherein I should your great deserts repay,
Forgot upon your dearest love to call,
Whereto all bonds do tie me day by day;

That I have frequent been with unknown minds,
And given to time your own dear-purchased right;
That I have hoisted sail to all the winds
Which should transport me farthest from your sight.

Book both my wilfulness and errors down,
And on just proof surmise accumulate;
Bring me within the level of your frown,
But shoot not at me in your waken'd hate;

Since my appeal says I did strive to prove
The constancy and virtue of your love.
