Poems by William Shakespeare
Sonnet 152: In loving thee thou know'st I am forsworn
... For I have sworn deep oaths of thy deep kindness, ...
Sonnet 18: Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
... Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade, ...
Sonnet 19: Devouring Time blunt thou the lion's paws
... Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws, ...
Sonnet 2: When forty winters shall besiege thy brow
... And see thy blood warm when thou feel'st it cold ...
Sonnet 21: So is it not with me as with that muse
... With April's first-born flowers, and all things rare ...
Sonnet 23: As an unperfect actor on the stage
... More than that tongue that more hath more expressed ...
Sonnet 22: My glass shall not persuade me I am old
... Thou gav'st me thine, not to give back again ...
Sonnet 25: Let those who are in favour with their stars
... Great princes' favourites their fair leaves spread, ...
Sonnet 26: Lord of my love, to whom in vassalage
... Till then not show my head where thou mayst prove me ...
Sonnet 27: Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed
... Makes black night beauteous, and her old face new ...
Sonnet 29: When in disgrace with Fortune and men's eyes
... Featured like him, like him with friends possessed, ...
Sonnet 3: Look in thy glass, and tell the face thou viewest
... Look in thy glass, and tell the face thou viewest ...
Sonnet 30: When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
... For precious friends hid in death's dateless night, ...
Sonnet 32: If thou survive my well-contented day
... When that churl Death my bones with dust shall cover, ...
Sonnet 33: Full many a glorious morning have I seen
... Suns of the world may stain when heaven's sun staineth ...
