More
papers due L incl. one in the evening class tomorrow. Here’s today’s sonnet:
_______________________________________
LXXXIX
Say that thou didst forsake me for some
fault,
And I will comment upon that offence:
Speak of my lameness, and I straight will
halt,
Against thy reasons making no defence.
Thou canst not love disgrace me half so ill,
To set a form upon desired change,
As I'll myself disgrace; knowing thy will,
I will acquaintance strangle, and look
strange;
Be absent from thy walks; and in my tongue
Thy sweet beloved name no more shall dwell,
Lest I, too much profane, should do it wrong,
And haply of our old acquaintance tell.
For thee, against my self I'll vow debate,
For I must ne'er love him whom thou dost
hate.

Another
more complex sonnet J with a late volta: It’s the for
at the beginning of the last line. Back
to work now (more tomorrow)—
