For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright,Who art as black as hell, as dark as night.

For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright,Who art

Summary

In this quote, the speaker expresses disappointment and betrayal towards someone they had once held in high regard. They had admired and believed this person to be good and virtuous ('sworn thee fair, thought thee bright'), but now they discover that the person is wicked and morally corrupt ('as black as hell, as dark as night'). The quote captures the stark contrast between the speaker's initial perception of this individual and the harsh reality they now face, illustrating the pain and disillusionment resulting from misplaced trust.
