Sonnet 141


In faith, I do not love thee with mine eyes,

For they in thee a thousand errors note;
But 'this my heart that loves what they despise,
Who in despite of view is please to dote.


Meaning:
I swear, I don't love you with my eyes:
They notice a thousand flaws in you.
Rather, it's my heart that loves what my eyes despise;
Despite what you look like,
my heart dotes on you.
