[Love’s Labour’s Lost: The Musical - Longaville's Sonnet lyrics]

LONGAVILLE
Did not the heavenly rhetoric of thine eye
'Gainst whom the world cannot hold argument
Persuade my heart to this false perjury?
Vows for thee broke deserve not punishment
A woman I forswore but I will prove
Thou being a goddess, I forswore not thee:
My vow was earthly, thou a heavenly love
Thy grace being gain'd cures
All disgrace in me
Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is:
Then thou, fair sun
Which on my earth dost shine aLL
Exhalest now this vapour-vow!

LONGAVILLE in thee it is:
If broken then, it is no fault of mine:
If by me broke, what fool is not so wise
To lose an oath to win a paradise?
Oh, would that King, Berowne
And Dumaine were lovers, too!
