Sonnet InHow shall I fly when feathers be not minenThough all my wishes skyward do attend?nHow tie my wounded heartstrings safe to thinenSo thou to me, like sun to moon, descend?nOr if thou wilt not bend thy starry frame,nWishing to keep thy brow o'ercrowned with mist,nI'll rise so that thy place shall stay the samenBut will not then depart from heights unkiss'd.nFor bargains may be struck and kept with pridenWhen lovers from their just demands ne'er hide.nnSonnet IInMy lover’s eyes are darker than the moonnOr are they brighter? I cannot decide.nHis tender voice makes other’s out of tunenAnd shows me how I cannot them abidenHis movements are of more than feline gracenHis hands are soft and pale as ivorynAnd though I’ve rarely seen a stranger face,nMore perfect looks I should abhor to seenFor others may be pleasanter in partnBut all my love remains a work of art.nnSonnet IIInHow is it that I smile when I am sad?nFrom what resource do I derive this strength?nI've lost none but a thing I never hadnTo keep it would I go to any lengthnBut distance is not measured in a heartnSo I could weep and say that I've been wrongednAnd yet, as ever, be so far apartnFrom him to whom I swore that I belongednAlas, I blame as though he were untruenI loved him but, poor fool, he never knew.nnSonnet IVnIf all you love I am, as I am quite,nThen why dost thou not love? Dost thou not seenA plainly perfect match? If thou art bright,nThen why, when thou dost love, love'st thou not me?nInstead preferring someone far removednFrom all you claim to most admire? I wouldnCommit you as a lunatic if provednThus mad you were my ward for your own good.nAnd yet I'm making light of my own painnBecause I finally love, yet love in vain.
