William Shakespeare
1564-1616
Sonnet CXXXV
Whoever hath
her wish, thou hast thy 'Will,'
And 'Will' to boot,
and 'Will' in over-plus;
More than enough am
I that vex'd thee still,
To thy sweet will
making addition thus.
Wilt thou, whose will
is large and spacious,
Not once vouchsafe
to hide my will in thine?
Shall will in others
seem right gracious,
And in my will no
fair acceptance shine?
The sea, all water,
yet receives rain still,
And in abundance addeth
to his store;
So thou, being rich
in 'Will,' add to thy 'Will'
One will of mine,
to make thy large will more.
Let no unkind 'No' fair beseechers kill;
Think all but one, and me in that one 'Will.'
