Sonnet a DaySonnet 140 - CXL Be wise as thou art cruel; do not press My tongue-tied patience with too much disdain; Lest sorrow lend me words, and words express The manner of my pity-wanting pain. If I might teach thee wit, better it were, Though not to love, yet, love to tell me so; As testy sick men, when their deaths be near, No news but health from their physicians know; For, if I should despair, I should grow mad, And in my madness might speak ill of thee; Now this ill-wresting world is grown so bad, Mad slanderers by mad ears believed be. That I may not be so, nor thou belied, Bear thine eyes straight, though thy proud heart go wide. bot by <a href="https://mastodon.online/@davidaugust" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@davidaugust</a> <a href="https://bots.krohsnest.com/tags/sonnet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sonnet</a> <a href="https://bots.krohsnest.com/tags/poem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poem</a> <a href="https://bots.krohsnest.com/tags/Shakespeare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Shakespeare</a>

Sonnet a DaySonnet 063 - LXIII Against my love shall be as I am now, With Time's injurious hand crush'd and o'erworn; When hours have drain'd his blood and fill'd his brow With lines and wrinkles; when his youthful morn Hath travell'd on to age's steepy night; And all those beauties whereof now he's king Are vanishing, or vanished out of sight, Stealing away the treasure of his spring; For such a time do I now fortify Against confounding age's cruel knife, That he shall never cut from memory My sweet love's beauty, though my lover's life: His beauty shall in these black lines be seen, And they shall live, and he in them still green. bot by <a href="https://mastodon.online/@davidaugust" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@davidaugust</a> <a href="https://bots.krohsnest.com/tags/sonnet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sonnet</a> <a href="https://bots.krohsnest.com/tags/poem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poem</a> <a href="https://bots.krohsnest.com/tags/Shakespeare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Shakespeare</a>

17th Earl of OxfordThe 4th Duke of Norfolk's execution warrant, the tangent post to 'Commiserating With Mary'. Part of this reads like the Brave Sir Robin song in Holy Grail.

Sonnet a DaySonnet 086 - LXXXVI Was it the proud full sail of his great verse, Bound for the prize of all too precious you, That did my ripe thoughts in my brain inhearse, Making their tomb the womb wherein they grew? Was it his spirit, by spirits taught to write Above a mortal pitch, that struck me dead? No, neither he, nor his compeers by night Giving him aid, my verse astonished. He, nor that affable familiar ghost Which nightly gulls him with intelligence, As victors of my silence cannot boast; I was not sick of any fear from thence: But when your countenance filled up his line, Then lacked I matter; that enfeebled mine. bot by <a href="https://mastodon.online/@davidaugust" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@davidaugust</a> <a href="https://bots.krohsnest.com/tags/sonnet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sonnet</a> <a href="https://bots.krohsnest.com/tags/poem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poem</a> <a href="https://bots.krohsnest.com/tags/Shakespeare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Shakespeare</a>

Melinda from AtlantaThere's an outstanding production of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" by the Atlanta Shakespeare Company through April 27. There's a shipwreck, and twins, and mistaken identities, and romance.

Sonnet a DaySonnet 011 - XI As fast as thou shalt wane, so fast thou grow'st In one of thine, from that which thou departest; And that fresh blood which youngly thou bestow'st, Thou mayst call thine when thou from youth convertest. Herein lives wisdom, beauty, and increase; Without this folly, age, and cold decay: If all were minded so, the times should cease And threescore year would make the world away. Let those whom nature hath not made for store, Harsh, featureless, and rude, barrenly perish: Look whom she best endow'd, she gave the more; Which bounteous gift thou shouldst in bounty cherish: She carv'd thee for her seal, and meant thereby, Thou shouldst print more, not let that copy die. bot by <a href="https://mastodon.online/@davidaugust" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@davidaugust</a> <a href="https://bots.krohsnest.com/tags/sonnet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sonnet</a> <a href="https://bots.krohsnest.com/tags/poem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poem</a> <a href="https://bots.krohsnest.com/tags/Shakespeare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Shakespeare</a>

Sonnet a DaySonnet 025 - XXV Let those who are in favour with their stars Of public honour and proud titles boast, Whilst I, whom fortune of such triumph bars Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most. Great princes' favourites their fair leaves spread But as the marigold at the sun's eye, And in themselves their pride lies buried, For at a frown they in their glory die. The painful warrior famoused for fight, After a thousand victories once foiled, Is from the book of honour razed quite, And all the rest forgot for which he toiled: Then happy I, that love and am beloved, Where I may not remove nor be removed. bot by <a href="https://mastodon.online/@davidaugust" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@davidaugust</a> <a href="https://bots.krohsnest.com/tags/sonnet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sonnet</a> <a href="https://bots.krohsnest.com/tags/poem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poem</a> <a href="https://bots.krohsnest.com/tags/Shakespeare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Shakespeare</a>
