Nor my beloved as an idol show,
Since all alike my songs and praises be
To one, of one, still such, and ever so.

Therefore my verse to constancy confined,
One thing expressing, leaves out difference.

And in this change is my invention spent,
Three themes in one, which wondrous scope affords.

Which three till now, never kept seat in one. — William Shakespeare
