The soul that all its blessings must resign, Petrarchan And love whose light no more on earth finds room, Might rend the rocks with pity for their doom, Yet none their sorrows can in words enshrine; Soleasi Nel Mio Cor (She Ruled in Beauty) They weep within my heart; and ears are deaf Save mine alone, and I am crushed with care, And naught remains to me save mournful breath. rhyme scheme: abba, abba, Assuredly but dust and shade we are, cdecde/cdcdcd Assuredly desire is blind and brief, Assuredly its hope but ends in death. My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral is far more red than her lips’ red; If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.

I have seen roses damasked, red and white, But no such roses see I in her cheeks; Shakespearean And in some perfumes is there more delight Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.

Sonnet 130 I love to hear her speak, yet well I know rhyme scheme: abab, cdcd, efef, gg That music hath a far more pleasing sound; I grant I never saw a goddess go; My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.

And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare As any she belied with false compare.
