Shakespeare's Sonnet 29

William ShakespeareSonnet XXIXOmar Lyman

“When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes,I all alone beweep my outcast state”

“And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries And look upon myself and curse my fate”

“in disgrace with fortune”

“Wishing me like to one more rich in…

”

“Featured like him, like him with friends possess’d,

Desiring this man’s art and that man’s scope,

With what I most enjoy contented least.”

“pompous”

“scheming”

“vicious”

“Yet in these thoughts

myself almost despising,

Haply I think on thee, and

then my state,”

“Like to the lark at break of day arising,From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven’s gate;”

“For thy sweet love remember’d such wealth brings,

That then I scorn to change my

state with kings.”
