William Shakespeare - Sonnet 51: "Thus can my love excuse the slow offence..."William Shakespeare - Sonnet 51: "Thus can my love excuse the slow offence..."
Work rating: Low


Thus can my love excuse the slow offence,  Of my dull bearer, when from thee I speed,  From where thou art, why should I haste me thence?  Till I return of posting is no need.  O what excuse will my poor beast then find,  When swift extremity can seem but slow?  Then should I spur though mounted on the wind,  In winged speed no motion shall I know,  Then can no horse with my desire keep pace,  Therefore desire (of perfect`st love being made)  Shall neigh (no dull flesh) in his fiery race,  But love, for love, thus shall excuse my jade,    Since from thee going, he went wilful-slow,    Towards thee I`ll run, and give him leave to go.
