Sonnet 149: Canst thou, O cruel, say I love thee not

Canst thou, O cruel, say I love thee not,When I against my self with thee partake?Do I not think on thee when I forgotAm of my self, 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 spendRevenge upon my self with present moan?What merit do I in my self respect,That is so proud thy service to despise,
