"A wretched soul, bruised with adversity,
We bid be quiet when we hear it cry;
But were we burdened with like weight of pain,
As much or more we should ourselves complain."
"I am not bound to please thee with my answers."
"Though I am not naturally honest, I am so sometimes by chance."
"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts... "

It's not exactly clear what Shakespeare was talking about, because there's no background information available for this sonnet. However, if it's somewhat literally interpreted, it sounds as if the person speaking (the man) is unable to control his sexual feelings for the woman and has given up trying, and blames love for "having no conscience" (regrets) in the matter. He tells her he is content to be a prisoner of his body's response to the woman, even though he does not really love her and has little or no intention of making any sort of feelings permanent. In other words, he's a guy, he's turned on, he's not interested in commitment and he says it's because he can't help himself, proving once again that not much has changed in 500 years! :)

Methinks she doth protest too much.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be.
To be or not to be, that is the question.
There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosphy.

Niether a borrower nor a lender be, For loan oft loses itself and friends and borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.

Lord, what fools these mortals be! – Upon a midsummer nights dream
Men are deceivers ever, One foot in the sea and the other on shore, to one thing constant never. – Much ado about nothing
From this day to the ending of the world, but we in it shall be remembered; We few we happy few, we band of brothers; For he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother; be he never so vile. – King Henry the 5th
I will live in thy heart, die in thy lap and be buried in thy eyes; and moveover I will go with thee to thy uncle’s. – Much ado about nothing.
No, no, no, no. Come, let’s away to prison/ We two alone will sing like birds in the cage./When thou dost ask me blessing, I’ll kneel down/And ask of thee forgiveness: so we’ll live/And pray and sing and tell old tales and laugh./At gilded butterflies and hear poor rogues/Talk of court news; and we’ll talk with them, too/Who loses and who wins who’s in, who’s out/In a walled prison, packs and sects of great ones/That ebb and flow by the moon./Upon such sacrifices, my Cordillia/The gods themselves throw incense. Have I caught thee?/He that parts us shall bring a brand from heaven /And fire us hence like foxes. Wipe thine eyes /The good years shall devour them, flesh and fell/Ere they shall make us weep; We’ll see ‘em starve first/Come
If Love be rough with you, you be rough with love. Prick Love for pricking and beat love down.
My only love sprung from my only hate. Too early seen unknown and known too late.
I will look to like, if looking liking move, but no more deep will I indart mine eye then you concent give strength to make it fly.
Oh me, what fray was here, but tell me know for I have heard it all. Here’s much to do with hate, but more with love. Why then oh brawling love oh loving hate oh anything of nothing’s first create.
R: For I have dream and dream tonight
M: and so have I/
R: And what was yours.
M: That dreamers often lie.
R: In bed asleep while they do dream things true.
M Ah, I see that queen Mab hath been with you.
I
