For sonnets and drakes
W Shakespeare
the Playwright
This thought is as a death
When I have seen such
When I have seen by
Time's fell hand defaced
interchange
of state
The rich proud cost
of outworn buried age
which cannot choose
Or state itself
When sometime lofty towers
I see down-razed
confounded to decay
And brass eternal
slave to mortal rage
Sonnet LXIV
But weep to have that
Ruin hath taught me
When I have seen
the hungry ocean gain
thus to ruminate
Advantage on the
kingdom of the shore
which it fears to lose
That Time will come
And the firm soil win
of the watery main
and take my love away
Increasing store with loss
and loss with store
