Therefore I lie with her and she with me,Īnd in our faults by lies we flatter’d be. O, love’s best habit is in seeming trust,Īnd age in love loves not to have years told: On both sides thus is simple truth suppress’d.īut wherefore says she not she is unjust? Simply I credit her false speaking tongue: Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young,Īlthough she knows my days are past the best, Unlearned in the world’s false subtleties. That she might think me some untutor’d youth, I do believe her, though I know she lies, When my love swears that she is made of truth Shakespeare Sonnet 138 full version with a traditional Shakespearian font. The line would explain how love is best seen is though trust.Please note: You are buying an UNFRAMED print. The only meaning I found other than something random (a loose garment) and a regular practice, which seems to make more sense. Habit – The last double meaning word is “habit”, on line 11, I found very difficult to grasp. In this context, I think the meaning would be the latter. To win me soon to hell, my female evil Tempteth my better angel from my side, And would corrupt my saint to be a devil, Wooing his purity with her foul pride. Simply – The word “simply” is located on line 7, and the two meanings I pulled out of it are something made solely up of one thing, or something easily done. The better angel is a man right fair, The worser spirit a woman coloured ill. In one case, it means that she just thinks he is young and inexperienced, or it could mean that she does not want him to learn about her infidelity. Vainly – The next word with two meanings is, “vainly”, which is on line 5. I just want to point out that on the first line, he calls his lover “my love” showing they stay together, despite the lying. The two use their lies to balance out their relationship. On the last line, “And in our faults by lies we flatter’d be,” I feel like “lies” means to not tell the truth, because of the word, “faults” before it. On the second to last line, Shakespeare writes, “Therefore I lie with her and she with me,” which in this case can be about them lying to each other, or how they remain a loving couple. Lie(s) – Line 2 says, “lie(s)”, which can either mean not telling the truth or during that time, sleeping with another lover. Throughout this sonnet, there are a few words with multiple meanings:
