    SONNET 146 Poor soul‚ the center of my sinful earth‚ Lord of these rebel powers that thee array‚ Why dost thou pine within and suffer dearth‚ Painting thy outward walls so costly gay? Why so large cost‚ having so short a lease‚ Dost thou upon thy fading mansion spend? Shall worms‚ inheritors of this excess‚ Eat up thy charge? is this thy body’s end? Then soul‚ live thou upon thy servant’s loss‚ And let that pine to aggravate thy store; Buy terms divine in selling hours of dross;

    Sonnet 14 If thou must love me‚ let it be for nought Except for love’s sake only. Do not say ’I love her for her smile—her look—her way Of speaking gently‚—for a trick of thought That falls in well with mine‚ and certes¹ brought A sense of pleasant ease on such a day’— For these things in themselves‚ Beloved‚ may Be changed‚ or change for thee‚—and love‚ so wrought‚ May be unwrought so. Neither love me for Thine own dear pity’s wiping my cheeks dry‚— A creature might forget to weep‚ who
