Sonnets LXIV-LXX

This week’s standouts are LXIV & LXVI. The former deals with learning to appreciate the love and people you have while you have them, and the latter is interesting, starting 10 of the 14 lines with “And,” while he lists off reasons he wishes for death, but ultimately decides dying isn’t worth losing his love.

Act IV done.

Act III done.

Act II done.

Act I done.

“Affliction may one day smile again, and till / then, sit thee down, sorrow.”

Act IV done.

Act III done.
