William Shakespeare
(One of the series of sonnets in which the English dramatist, 15641616, voiced his inmost soul)T
As, to behold desert a beggar born,
And needy nothing trimm’d in jollity,
And purest faith unhappily forsworn,
And maiden virtue rudely strumpeted,
And right perfection wrongfully disgraced,
And strength by limping sway disablèd,
And folly, doctor-like, controlling skill,
And simple truth miscall’d simplicity,
And captive Good attending captain Ill:—
Save that, to die, I leave my Love alone.
