The Sonnets CIX - O! never say that I was false of heart
O! never say that I was false of heart, Though absence seemd my flame to qualify, As easy might I from my self depart As from my soul which in thy breast doth lie: That is my home of love: if I have rangd, Like him that travels, I return again; Just to the time, not with the time exchangd, So that myself bring water for my stain. Never believe though in my nature reignd, All frailties that besiege all kinds of blood, That it could so preposterously be staind, To leave for nothing all thy sum of good; For nothing this wide universe I call, Save thou, my rose, in it thou art my all.
