Shakespeare's Sonnets Navigator | Summary of Sonnet 29 in the Table of Contents | Notes for Sonnet 29 |
1 When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes, 2 I all alone beweep my outcast state 3 And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries 4 And look upon myself and curse my fate, 5 Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, 6 Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd, 7 Desiring this man's art and that man's scope, 8 With what I most enjoy contented least; 9 Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising, 10 Haply I think on thee, and then my state, 11 Like to the lark at break of day arising 12 From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate; 13 For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings 14 That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
