Sonnet #105

CV.br /br /Let not my love be call'd idolatry,br /Nor my beloved as an idol show,br /Since all alike my songs and praises bebr /To one, of one, still such, and ever so.br /Kind is my love to-day, to-morrow kind,br /Still constant in a wondrous excellence;br /Therefore my verse to constancy confined,br /One thing expressing, leaves out difference.br /'Fair, kind and true' is all my argument,br /'Fair, kind, and true' varying to other words;br /And in this change is my invention spent,br /Three themes in one, which wondrous scope affords.br /'Fair, kind, and true,' have often lived alone,br /Which three till now never kept seat in one.
