Sonnet XXXVI-XXXIX
first and loved, I did not build
Upon t mean
to last, a love set pendulous between
Sorrohrilled,
Distrusting every lig seemed to gild
to overlean
A finger even. And, though I have grown serene
And strong since t God has willed
A still reneroth . . .
Lest these enclasped hands should never hold,
tual kiss drop doh
As an unohe lips being cold.
And Love, be false ! if o keep one oath,
Must lose one joy, by ar foretold.

Pardon, o my soul should make,
Of all t strong divineness which I know
For thee, an image only so
Formed of t to s and break.
It is t distant years ake
ty, recoiling h a blow,
o undergo
t and dread, and blindly to forsake
ty of likeness and distort
t love to a erfeit:
As if a s,
o commemorate,
S a sculptured porpoise, gills a-snort
And vibrant tail, emple-gate.
