CXLIV



Two loves I have of comfort and despair,

Which like two spirits do suggest me still:

The better angel is a man right fair,

The worser spirit a woman colour\'d ill.

To win me soon to hell, my female evil,

Tempteth my better angel from my side,

And would corrupt my saint to be a devil,

Wooing his purity with her foul pride.

And whether that my angel be turn\'d fiend,

Suspect I may, yet not directly tell;

But being both from me, both to each friend,

I guess one angel in another\'s hell:

  Yet this shall I ne\'er know, but live in doubt, 

  Till my bad angel fire my good one out.

 	--William Shakespeare
