William Shakespeare - Sonnet CLI

Sonnets of William Shakespeare

Sonnet 151

CLI.
Love is too young to know what conscience is;
Yet who knows not conscience is born of love?
Then, gentle cheater, urge not my amiss,
Lest guilty of my faults thy sweet self prove:

For, thou betraying me, I do betray
My nobler part to my gross body's treason;
My soul doth tell my body that he may
Triumph in love; flesh stays no father reason;
But, rising at thy name, doth point out thee
As his triumphant prize. Proud of this pride,
He is contented thy poor drudge to be,
To stand in thy affairs, fall by thy side.
No want of conscience hold it that I call
Her 'love' for whose dear love I rise and fall.

...Bill paints quite the lurid tale with this one katyzzz. I wonder how cable tv would have impacted on his works?

He could be very lurid in all sorts of ways.

Maybe some x rated movies for pay TV - not for me, though!
