    Shakespearean Sonnet 38

    How can my Muse want subject to invent,


    While thou dost breathe, that pour'st into my verse
    Thine own sweet argument, too excellent
    For every vulgar paper to rehearse?
    O, give thyself the thanks, if aught in me
    Worthy perusal stand against thy sight;
    For who's so dumb that cannot write to thee,
    When thou thyself dost give invention light?
    Be thou the tenth Muse, ten times more in worth
    Than those old nine which rhymers invocate;
    And he that calls on thee, let him bring forth
    Eternal numbers to outlive long date.
    If my slight Muse do please these curious days,
    The pain be mine, but thine shall be the praise.

    Petrarchan Sonnet

    "Missing the Meteors"


    A hint of rain--a touch of lazy doubt-Sent me to bedward on that prime of nights,
    When the air met and burst the aerolites,
    Making the men stare and the children shout:
    Why did no beam from all that rout and rush
    Of darting meteors, pierce my drowsed head?
    Strike on the portals of my sleep? and flush
    My spirit through mine eyelids, in the stead
    Of that poor vapid dream? My soul was pained,
    My very soul, to have slept while others woke,
    While little children their delight outspoke,
    And in their eyes' small chambers entertained
    Far notions of the Kosmos! I mistook
    The purpose of that night--it had not rained.

    SONNET 44 of Shakespeare
    If the dull substance of my flesh were thought,
    Injurious distance should not stop my way;
    For then despite of space I would be brought,
    From limits far remote where thou dost stay.
    No matter then although my foot did stand
    Upon the farthest earth removed from thee;
    For nimble thought can jump both sea and land
    As soon as think the place where he would be.
    But ah! thought kills me that I am not thought,
    To leap large lengths of miles when thou art gone,
    But that so much of earth and water wrought
    I must attend time's leisure with my moan,
    Receiving nought by elements so slow
    But heavy tears, badges of either's woe.

    Petrarchan Sonnet

    Gli Occhi Di Ch' Io Parlai

    Those eyes, 'neath which my passionate rapture rose,


    The arms, hands, feet, the beauty that erewhile
    Could my own soul from its own self beguile,
    And in a separate world of dreams enclose,
    The hair's bright tresses, full of golden glows,
    And the soft lightning of the angelic smile
    That changed this earth to some celestial isle,
    Are now but dust, poor dust, that nothing knows.
    And yet I live! Myself I grieve and scorn,
    Left dark without the light I loved in vain,
    Adrift in tempest on a bark forlorn;
    Dead is the source of all my amorous strain,
    Dry is the channel of my thoughts outworn,
    And my sad harp can sound but notes of pain.
