SONNET #1
　　by: William Shakespeare
　　FROM fairest creatures we desire increase,
　　That thereby beauty's rose might never die,
　　But as the riper should by time decease,
　　His tender heir might bear his memory;
　　But thou, contracted to thine own bright eyes,
　　Feed'st thy light's flame with self-substantial fuel,
　　Making a famine where abundance lies,
　　Thyself thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel.
　　Thout that are now the world's fresh ornament
　　And only herald to the gaudy spring,
　　Within thine own bud buriest thy content
　　And, tender churl, mak'st waste in niggarding.
　　Pity the world, or else this glutton be,
　　To eat the world's due, by the grave and thee.
SONNET #2
　　by: William Shakespeare
　　WHEN forty winters shall besiege thy brow
　　And dig deep trenches in thy beauty's field,
　　Thy youth's proud livery, so gazed on now,
　　Will be a tottered weed of small worth held:
　　Then being asked where all thy beauty lies,
　　Where all the treasure of thy lusty days,
　　To say within thine own deep-sunken eyes
　　Were an all-eating shame and thriftless praise.
　　How much more prasie deserved thy beauty's use
　　If thou couldst answer, 'This fair child of mine
　　Shall sum my count and make my old excuse,'
　　Proving his beauty by succession thine.
　　This were to be new made when thou art old
　　And see thy blood warm when thou feel'st cold.
SONNET #3
　　by: William Shakespeare
　　LOOK in thy glass, and tell the face thou viewest
　　Now is the time that face should form another,
　　Whose fresh repair if now thou renewest,
　　Thou dost beguile the world, unbless some mother.
　　For where is she so fair whose uneared womb
　　Disdains the tillage of thy husbandry?
　　Or who is he so fond will be the tomb
　　Of his self-love, to stop posterity?
　　Thou art thy mother's glass, and she in thee
　　Calls back the lovely April of her prime;
　　So thou through windows of thine age shalt see,
　　Despite of wrinkles, this thy golden time.
　　But if thou live rememb'red not to be,
　　Die single, and thine image dies with thee.
SONNET #4
　　by: William Shakespeare
　　UNTHRIFTY loveliness, why dost thou spend
　　Upon thyself they beauty's legacy?
　　Nature's bequest gives nothing but doth lend,
　　And, being frank, she lends to those are free.
　　Then, beateous niggard, why dost thou abuse
　　The bounteous largess given thee to give?
　　Profitless userer, why dost thou use
　　So great a sum of sums, yet canst not live?
　　For, having traffic with thyself alone,
　　Thou of thyself thy sweet self dost deceive:
　　Then how, when Nature calls thee to be gone,
　　What acceptable audit canst thou leave?
　　Thy unused beauty must be tombed with thee,
　　Which, usèd, lives th' executor to be.
SONNET #5
　　by: William Shakespeare
　　THOSE hours that with gentle work did frame
　　The lovely gaze where every eye doth dwell
　　Will play the tyrants to the very same
　　And that unfair which fairly doth excel;
　　For never-resting time leads summer on
　　To hideous winter and confounds him there,
　　Sap checked with frost and lusty leaves quite gone,
　　Beauty o'ersnowed and bareness everywhere.
　　Then, were not summer's distillation left
　　A liquid prisoner pent in walls of glass,
　　Beauty's effect with beauty were bereft,
　　Nor it nor no remembrance what it was:
　　But flowers distilled, though they with winter meet,
　　Leese but there snow; their substance still lives sweet.
SONNET #6
　　by: William Shakespeare
　　THEN let not winter's ragged hand deface
　　In thee thy summer ere thou be distilled:
　　Make sweet some vial; treasure thou some place
　　With beauty's treasure ere it be self-killed.
　　That use is not forbidden usury
　　Which happies those that pay the willing loan;
　　That's for thyself to breed another thee,
　　Or ten times happier be it ten for one.
　　Ten times thyself were happier than thou art,
　　If ten of thine ten times refigured thee:
　　Then what could death do if thou shouldst depart,
　　Leaving thee living in posterity?
　　Be not self-willed, for thou art much too fair
　　To be death's conquest and make worms thine heir.
SONNET #7
　　by: William Shakespeare
　　LO, in the orient when the gracious light
　　Lifts up his burning head, each under eye
　　Doth homage to his new-appearing sight,
　　Serving with looks his sacred majesty;
　　And having climbed the steep-up heavenly hill,
　　Resembling strong yough in his middle age,
　　Yet mortal looks adore his beauty still,
　　Attending on his golden pilgrimage;
　　But when from highmost pitch, with weary car,
　　Like feeble age he reeleth from the day,
　　The eyes, fore duteous, now converted are
　　From his low tract and look another way:
　　So thou, thyself outgoing in thy noon,
　　Unlooked on diest unless thou get a son.
SONNET #8
　　by: William Shakespeare
　　MUSIC to hear, why hear'st thou music sadly?
　　Sweets with sweets war not, joy delights in joy:
　　Why lov'st thou that which thou receiv'st not gladly,
　　Or else receiv'st with pleasure thine annoy?
　　If the true concord of well-tunèd sounds,
　　By unions married, do offend thine ear,
　　They do but sweetly chide thee, who confounds
　　In singleness the parts that thou shouldst bear.
　　Mark how one string, sweet husband to another,
　　Strikes each in each by mutual ordering;
　　Resembling sire and child and happy mother,
　　Who, all in one, one pleasing note do sing;
　　Whose speechless song, being many, seeming one,
　　Sings this to thee, 'Thou single wilt prove none.'
SONNET #9
　　by: William Shakespeare
　　IS it for fear to wet a widow's eye
　　That thou consum'st thyself in single life?
　　Ah, if thou issueless shalt hap to die,
　　The world will wail thee like a makeless wife;
　　The world will be thy widow, and still weep
　　That thou no form of thee hast left behind,
　　When every private widow well may keep,
　　By children's eyes, her husband's shape in mind.
　　Look what an unthrift in the world doth spend
　　Shifts but his place, for still the world enjoys it;
　　But beauty's waste hath in the world an end,
　　And, kept unused, the user so destroys it:
　　No love toward others in that bosom sits
　　Than on himself such murd'rous shame commits
SONNET #10
　　by: William Shakespeare
　　FOR shame, deny that thou bear'st love to any
　　Who for thyself art so unprovident:
　　Grant, if thou wilt, thou art beloved of many,
　　But that thou none lov'st is most evident;
　　For thou art so possessed with murd'rous hate
　　That 'gainst thyself thou stick'st not to conspire,
　　Seeking that beauteous roof to ruinate
　　Which to repair should be thy chief desire.
　　O, change thy thought, that I may change my mind;
　　Shall hate be fairer lodged than gentle love?
　　Be as thy presence is, gracious and kind,
　　Or to thyself at least kind-hearted prove:
　　Make thee another self for love of me,
　　That beauty still may live in thine or thee.
SONNET #11
　　by: William Shakespeare
　　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 endowed she gave the more,
　　Which bounteous gift thou shouldst in bounty cherish.
　　She carved thee for her seal, and meant thereby
　　Thou shouldst print more, not let that copy die.
SONNET #12
　　by: William Shakespeare
　　WHEN I do count the clock that tells the time
　　And see the brave day sunk in hideous night,
　　When I behold the violet past prime
　　And sable curls all silvered o'er with white,
　　When lofty trees I see barren of leaves,
　　Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
　　And summer's green all girded up in sheaves
　　Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard;
　　Then of thy beauty do I question make
　　That thou among the wastes of time must go,
　　Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake
　　And die as fast as they see others grow;
　　And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defense
　　Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.
SONNET #13
　　by: William Shakespeare
　　O , THAT you were yourself, but, love, you are
　　No longer yours than you yourself here live:
　　Against this coming end you should prepare,
　　And your sweet semblance to some other give.
　　So should that beauty which you hold in lease
　　Find no determination; then you were
　　Yourself again after yourself's decease
　　When your sweet issue your sweet form should bear.
　　Who lets so fair a house fall to decay,
　　Which husbandry in honor might uphold
　　Against the stormy gusts of winter's day
　　And barren rage of death's eternal cold?
　　O, none but unthrifts! Dear my love, you know
　　You had a father -- let your son say so.
SONNET #14
　　by: William Shakespeare
　　NOT from the stars do I my judgment pluck,
　　And yet methinks I have astronomy;
　　But not to tell of good or evil luck,
　　Of plagues, of dearths, or season's quality;
　　Nor can I fortune to brief minutes tell,
　　Pointing to each his thunder, rain, and wind,
　　Or say with princes if it shall go well
　　By oft predict that I in heaven find;
　　But from thine eyes my knowledge I derive,
　　And, constant stars, in them I read such art
　　As truth and beauty shall together thrive
　　If from thyself to store thou wouldst convert:
　　Or else of thee this I prognosticate,
　　Thy end is truth's and beauty's doom and date.
SONNET #15
　　by: William Shakespeare
　　WHEN I consider everything that grows
　　Holds in perfection but a little moment,
　　That this huge stage presenteth nought but shows
　　Whereon the stars in secret influence comment;
　　When I perceive that men as plants increase,
　　Cheerèd and checked even by the selfsame sky,
　　Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease,
　　And wear their brave state out of memory:
　　Then the conceit of this inconstant stay
　　Sets you most rich in youth before my sight,
　　Where wasteful Time debateth with Decay
　　To change your day of youth to sullied night;
　　And, all in war with Time for love of you,
　　As he takes from you, I ingraft you new.
SONNET #16
　　by: William Shakespeare
　　BUT wherefore do not you a mightier way
　　Make war upon this bloody tyrant, Time?
　　And fortify yourself in your decay
　　With means more blessèd than my barren rime?
　　Now stand you on the top of happy hours,
　　And many maiden gardens, yet unset,
　　With virtuous wish would bear your living flowers,
　　Much liker than your painted counterfeit:
　　So should the lines of life that life repair
　　Which this time's pencil or my pupil pen,
　　Neither in inward worth nor outward fair
　　Can make you live yourself in eyes of men.
　　To give away yourself keeps yourself still,
　　And you must live, drawn by your own sweet skill.

SONNET #17
　　by: William Shakespeare
　　HO will believe my verse in time to come
　　If it were filled with your most high deserts?
　　Though yet, heaven knows, it is but as a tomb
　　Which hides your life and shows not half your parts.
　　If I could write the beauty of your eyes
　　And in fresh numbers number all your graces,
　　The age to come would say, 'This poet lies--
　　Such heavenly touches ne'er touched earthly faces.'
　　So should my papers, yellowed with their age,
　　Be scorned, like old men of less truth than tongue,
　　And your true rights be termed a poet's rage
　　And stretchèd metre of an antique song.
　　But were some child of yours alive that time,
　　You should live twice--in it and in my rime.
　　"Sonnet #17" was originally published in Shake-speares Sonnets: Never before Imprinted (1609).
SONNET #18
　　by: William Shakespeare
　　Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
　　Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
　　Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
　　And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
　　Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
　　And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
　　And every fair from fair sometime declines,
　　By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimmed:
　　But thy eternal summer shall not fade
　　Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
　　Nor shall Death brag thou wand'rest in his shade
　　When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st.
　　So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
　　So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
　　"Sonnet #18" was originally published in Shake-speares Sonnets: Never before Imprinted (1609).
SONNET #19
　　by: William Shakespeare
　　Devouring time, blunt thou the lion's paws,
　　And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
　　Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws,
　　And burn the long-lived phoenix in her blood;
　　Make glad and sorry seasons as they fleet'st,
　　And do whate'er thou wilt, swift-footed Time,
　　To the wide world and all her fading sweets,
　　But I forbid thee one most heinous crime:
　　O, carve not with thy hours my love's fair brow,
　　Nor draw no lines there with thine antique pen;
　　Him in thy course untainted do allow
　　For beauty's pattern to succeeding men.
　　Yet do thy worst, old Time: despite thy wrong,
　　My love shall in my verse ever live young.
　　"Sonnet #19" was originally published in Shake-speares Sonnets: Never before Imprinted (1609).
SONNET #20
　　by: William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
　　WOMAN'S face, with Nature's own hand painted,
　　Hast thou, the master-mistress of my passion;
　　A woman's gentle heart, but not acquainted
　　With shifting change, as is false women's fashion;
　　An eye more bright than theirs, less false in rolling,
　　Gilding the object whereupon it gazeth;
　　A man in hue all hues in his controlling,
　　Which steals men's eyes and women's souls amazeth.
　　And for a woman wert thou first created,
　　Till Nature as she wrought thee fell a-doting,
　　And by addition me of thee defeated
　　By adding one thing to my purpose nothing.
　　But since she pricked thee out for women's pleasure,
　　Mine be thy love, and thy love's use their treasure.
　　"Sonnet #20" was originally published in Shake-speares Sonnets: Never before Imprinted (1609).
SONNET #21
　　by: William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
　　O is it not with me as with that Muse
　　Stirred by a painted beauty to his verse,
　　Who heaven itself for ornament doth use
　　And every fair with his fair doth rehearse;
　　Making a couplement of proud compare
　　With sun and moon, with earth and sea's rich gems,
　　With April's first-born flowers, and all things rare
　　That heaven's airs in this huge rondure hems.
　　O let me, true in love, but truly write,
　　And then believe me, my love is as fair
　　As any mother's child, though not so bright
　　As those gold candles fixed in heaven's air:
　　Let them say more that like of hearsay well;
　　I will not praise that purpose not to sell.
　　"Sonnet #21" was originally published in Shake-speares Sonnets: Never before Imprinted (1609).
SONNET #22
　　by: William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
　　MY glass shall not persuade me I am old
　　So long as youth and thou are of one date;
　　But when in thee time's furrows I behold,
　　Then look I death my days should expiate.
　　For all that beauty that doth cover thee
　　Is but the seemly raiment of my heart,
　　Which in they breast doth live, as thine in me:
　　How can I then be elder than thou art?
　　O therefore, love, be of thyself so wary
　　As I, not for myself, but for thee will,
　　Bearing thy heart, which I will keep so chary
　　As tender nurse her babe from faring ill.
　　Presume not on thy heart when mine is slain;
　　Thou gav'st me thine not to give back again.
　　"Sonnet #22" was originally published in Shake-speares Sonnets: Never before Imprinted (1609).
SONNET #23
　　by: William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
　　AS an unperfect actor on the stage,
　　Who with his fear is put besides his part,
　　Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage,
　　Whose strength's abundance weakens his own heart;
　　So I, for fear of trust, forget to say
　　The perfect ceremony of love's rite,
　　And in mine own love's strength seem to decay,
　　O'ercharged with burden of mine own love's might.
　　O, let my books be then the eloquence
　　And dump presagers of my speaking breast,
　　Who plead for love, and look for recompense,
　　More than that tongue that more hath more expressed.
　　O, learn to read what silent love hath writ:
　　To hear with eyes belongs to love's fine wit.
　　"Sonnet #23" was originally published in Shake-speares Sonnets: Never before Imprinted (1609).
SONNET #24
　　by: William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
　　MINE eye hath played the painter and hath stelled
　　Thy beauty's form in table of my heart;
　　My body is the frame wherein 'tis held,
　　And perspective it is best painter's art.
　　For through the painter must you see his skill
　　To fine where your true image pictured lies,
　　Which in my bosom's shop is hanging still,
　　That hath his windows glazèd with thine eyes.
　　Now see what good turns eyes for eyes have done:
　　Mine eyes have drawn thy shape, and thine for me
　　Are windows to my breast, wherethrough the sun
　　Delights to peep, to gaze therein on thee.
　　Yet eyes this cunning want to grace their art;
　　They draw but what they see, know not the heart.
　　"Sonnet #24" was originally published in Shake-speares Sonnets: Never before Imprinted (1609).
SONNET #25
　　by: William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
　　LET those who are in favor with their stars
　　Of public honor and proud titles boast,
　　Whilst I, whom fortune of such triumph bars,
　　Unlooked for joy in that I honor most.
　　Great princes' favorites their fair leaves spread
　　But as the marigold at the sun's eye;
　　And in themselves their pride lies burièd,
　　For at a frown they in their glory die.
　　The painful warrior famousèd for fight,
　　After a thousand victories once foiled,
　　Is from the book of honor rasèd 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.
　　"Sonnet #25" was originally published in Shake-speares Sonnets: Never before Imprinted (1609).
SONNET #26
　　by: William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
　　LORD of my love, to whom in vassalage
　　Thy merit hath my duty strongly knit,
　　To thee I send this written ambassage
　　To witness duty, not to show my wit;
　　Duty so great, which wit so poor as mine
　　May make seem bare, in wanting words to show it,
　　But that I hope some good coneit of thine
　　In thy soul's thought, all naked, will bestow it;
　　Till whatsoever star that guides my moving
　　Points on me graciously with fair aspect,
　　And puts apparel on my tottered loving
　　To show me worthy of thy sweet respect:
　　Then may I dare to boast how I do love thee;
　　Till then not show my head where thou mayest prove me.
　　"Sonnet #26" was originally published in Shake-speares Sonnets: Never before Imprinted (1609).
SONNET #27
　　by: William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
　　WEARY with toil, I haste to my bed,
　　The dear repose for limbs with travel tired,
　　But then begins a journey in my head
　　To work my mind when body's work's expired;
　　For then my thoughts, from far where I abide,
　　Intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee,
　　And keep my drooping eyelids open wide,
　　Looking on darkness which the blind do see;
　　Save that my soul's imaginary sight
　　Presents thy shadow to my sightless view,
　　Which, like a jewel hung in ghastly night,
　　Makes black night beauteous and her old face new.
　　Lo, thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind,
　　For thee and for myself no quiet find.
　　"Sonnet #27" was originally published in Shake-speares Sonnets: Never before Imprinted (1609).
SONNET #28
　　by: William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
　　HOW can I then return in happy plight
　　That am debarred the benefit of rest,
　　When day's oppression is not eased by night,
　　And each, though enemies to either's reign,
　　Do in consent shake hands to torture me,
　　The one by toil, the other to complain
　　How far I toil, still farther off from thee?
　　I tell the day, to please him, thou art bright
　　And dost him grace when clouds do blot the heaven;
　　So flatter I the swart-complexioned night,
　　When sparkling stars twire not, thou gild'st the even.
　　But day doth daily draw my sorrows longer,
　　And night doth nightly make grief's strength seem stronger.
　　"Sonnet #28" was originally published in Shake-speares Sonnets: Never before Imprinted (1609).
SONNET #29
　　by: William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
　　WHEN, in disgrace with Fortune and men's eyes,
　　I all alone beweep my outcast state,
　　And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
　　And look upon myself and curse my fate,
　　Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
　　Featured like him, like him with friend's possessed,
　　Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,
　　With what I most enjoy contented least;
　　Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
　　Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
　　Like to the lark at break of day arising
　　From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
　　For thy sweet love rememb'red such wealth brings
　　That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
　　"Sonnet #29" was originally published in Shake-speares Sonnets: Never before Imprinted (1609).
SONNET #30
　　by: William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
　　WHEN to the sessions of sweet silent thought
　　I summon up remembrance of things past,
　　I sigh the lack of many a thought I sought,
　　And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste:
　　Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow,
　　For precious friends hid in death's dateless night,
　　And weep afresh love's long since cancelled woe,
　　And moan th' expense of many a vanished sight.
　　Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,
　　And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er
　　The sad account of fore-bemoanèd moan,
　　Which I new pay as if not paid before.
　　But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
　　All losses are restored and sorrows end.

SONNET #31
　　by: William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
　　THY bosom is endearèd with all hearts
　　Which I by lacking have supposèd dead;
　　And their reigns love, and all love's loving parts,
　　And all those friends which I thought burièd.
　　How many a holy and obsequious tear
　　Hath dear religious love stol'n from mine eye,
　　As interest of the dead, which now appear
　　But things removed that hidden in thee lie!
　　Thou art the grave where buried love doth live,
　　Hung with the trophies of my lovers gone,
　　Who all their parts of me to thee did give;
　　That due of many now is thine alone.
　　Their images I loved I vew in thee,
　　And thou, all they, hast all the all of me.

SONNET #32
　　by: William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
　　IF thou survive my well-contented day
　　When that churl Death my bones with dust shall cover,
　　And shalt by fortune once more resurvey
　　These poor rude lines of thy deceasèd lover,
　　Compare them with the bett-ring of the time,
　　And though they be outstripped by every pen,
　　Reserve them for my love, not for their rime,
　　Exceeded by the height of happier men.
　　O, then vouchsafe me but this loving thought:
　　'Had my friend's Muse grown with this growing age,
　　A dearer birth than this his love had brought
　　To march in ranks of better equipage;
　　But since he died, and poets better prove,
　　Theirs for their style I'll read, his for his love.'
