Poor soul, the centre of my sinful earth
O me! What eyes hath love
put in my head
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
When in
the chronicle of wasted time
That time of year thou may'st in me
behold
How like a winter hath my absence been
Being your slave,
what should I do but tend
When in disgrace with fortune and men's
eyes
They that have power to hurt, and will do
Farewell! thou art
too dear for my possessing
When to the sessions of sweet silent
thought
Did not the heavenly rhetoric of thine eye
The forward
violet thus did I chide
O lest the world should task you to recite
Let
me not to the marriage of true minds
How oft, when thou, my music,
music play'st
Full many a glorious morning have I seen
The
expense of spirit in a waste of shame
