This sonnet focuses and sheds more light on the complex love triangle between the Bard, his female lover, and the young man who is probably the Fair Youth. This is explored in Sonnets 40 and 41.
The sonnet begins with the speaker lamenting the loss of his lady and, though he loved her, then proceed...
That thou hast her it is not all my grief,
And yet it may be said I loved her dearly;
That she hath thee is of my wailing chief,
A loss in love that touches me more nearly.
Loving offenders thus I will excuse ye:
Thou dost love her, because thou know'st I love her;
And for my sake even so doth she abuse me,
Suffering my friend for my sake to approve her.
If I lose thee, my loss is my love's gain,
And losing her, my friend hath found that loss;
Both find each other, and I lose both twain,
And both for my sake lay on me this cross:
But here's the joy; my friend and I are one;
Sweet flattery! then she loves but me alone.
Sonnet 42 was written by William Shakespeare.
William Shakespeare released Sonnet 42 on Thu Jan 01 1609.
