Act I, Scene 149

---

• Shakespeare. Canst thou, O cruel! say I love thee not,
  When I against myself with thee partake? 2075
  Do I not think on thee, when I forgot
  Am of myself, all tyrant, for thy sake?
  Who hateth thee that I do call my friend?
  On whom frown'st thou that I do fawn upon?
  Nay, if thou lour'st on me, do I not spend 2080
  Revenge upon myself with present moan?
  What merit do I in myself respect,
  That is so proud thy service to despise,
  When all my best doth worship thy defect,
  Commanded by the motion of thine eyes? 2085
  But, love, hate on, for now I know thy mind;
  Those that can see thou lovest, and I am blind.
