Sonnet 88. When thou shalt be disposed to set me light

When thou shalt be disposed to set me light

And place my merit in the eye of scorn

Upon thy side, against my self I'll fight

And prove thee virtuous, though thou art forsworn:

With mine own weakness being best acquainted

Upon thy part I can set down a story

Of faults concealed, wherein I am attainted:

That thou in losing me, shalt win much glory:
