Woke up
late and am still sleepy. Must catch up
on sleep before the semester starts …
Today’s first sonnet:
______________________________________
CXXXIII
Beshrew that heart that makes my heart to
groan
For that deep wound it gives my friend and
me!
Is't not enough to torture me alone,
But slave to slavery my sweet'st friend must
be?
Me from myself thy cruel eye hath taken,
And my next self thou harder hast engross'd:
Of him, myself, and thee I am forsaken;
A torment thrice three-fold thus to be
cross'd:
Prison my heart in thy steel bosom's ward,
But then my friend's heart let my poor heart
bail;
Whoe'er keeps me, let my heart be his guard;
Thou canst not then use rigour in my jail:
And yet thou wilt; for I, being pent in
thee,
Perforce am thine, and all that is in me.

The
volta, of course, is the and yet at
the beginning of line 13. Another one in
the afternoon.
