Type II Friday night

Friday, and I still have another paper due.  At midnight.  That’s how hard this week’s been.

But if I didn’t have that paper due, I could have gone to watch Rocky Horror Picture Show, which is playing on campus this evening.  That’s how cool my college is!!  J

And here’s sonnet 49:

________________________________________

XLIX

  Against that time, if ever that time come,

  When I shall see thee frown on my defects,

  When as thy love hath cast his utmost sum,

  Call'd to that audit by advis'd respects;

  Against that time when thou shalt strangely pass,

  And scarcely greet me with that sun, thine eye,

  When love, converted from the thing it was,

  Shall reasons find of settled gravity;

  Against that time do I ensconce me here,

  Within the knowledge of mine own desert,

  And this my hand, against my self uprear,

  To guard the lawful reasons on thy part:

    To leave poor me thou hast the strength of laws,

    Since why to love I can allege no cause.

Eight and one-half lines of prepositional phrases!  I’m imagining the sentence trees  J  A small volta caps off that sequence:  the do in line 9.  The real volta is as late as the since at the beginning of the last line.  On days as hard as today, I’m glad my project is only to note the voltas, because anything more would have taken more time than I can afford.  But I’ll be back to post sonnet 50 tomorrow—
