life is my abuse when it slips the double-deuce

A priceless treasure plagued by cruel disdain
Mirrors, profane and true, to jewels of love;
And though thy breast see not evil it's name,
Know Heaven harbored not what I speak of.
Love's done for me what hate hath done for thee;
As you saw fit for that, I seek revenge.
If it t'was man, I'd slay as he did me,
And smite him before God's hand could decend!
I reminisce upon the sweetest hours
That fell 'neath suns and moons of purest skies
But t'was before they echoed and abhorred:
The guise'd seconds of my true love's lie!

Mine only comfort lies within my laugh
Of cruelty when you come to taste his wrath.

Sheakesperean sonnets are fun!
