Sonnet #42
th@ thou hast her it is nt all my grief,
& yet it may b said I luvd her dearly,
th@ she hath thee is of my wailing chief,
A loss in luv th@ touches me more nearly.
Loving offenders thus I will excuse ye,
Thou dost luv her, coz thou know'st I luv her,
& 4 my sake even so doth she abuse me,
Suff'ring my friend 4 my sake 2 approve her.
If I lose thee, my loss is my luvz gain,
& losing her, my friend hath found th@ loss,
Both find each other, & I lose both twain,
& both 4 my sake lay on me this cross,
bt herez d joy, my friend & I R one,
Sweet flattery, then she luvs bt me alone.
