And turn his merry note
Unto the sweet bird’s throat,
Come hither, come hither, come hither:
Here shall he see
No enemy
But winter and rough weather.
Who doth ambition shun,
And loves to live i’ the sun,
Seeking the food he eats,
And pleas’d with what he gets,
Come hither, come hither, come hither:
Here shall he see
No enemy
But winter and rough weather.

How oft, when thou, my music, music play’st,
With thy sweet fingers, when thou gently sway’stThe wiry concord that mine ear confounds,Do I envy those jacks that nimble leapTo kiss the tender inward of thy hand,Whilst my poor lips, which should that harvest reap,At the wood’s boldness by thee blushing stand!To be so tickled, they would change their stateAnd situation with those dancing…
Like as to make our appetite more keen
As to prevent our maladies unseen,We sicken to shun sickness when we purge.Even so being full of your ne’er-cloying sweetness,To bitter sauces did I frame my feeding;And, sick of welfare, found a kind of meetnessTo be diseased ere that there was true needing.Thus policy in love t’ anticipateThe ills that were not, grew to faults…

Sonnet 34: Why Didst Thou Promise Such A Beauteous Day by William Shakespeare
Why didst thou promise such a beauteous dayAnd make me travel forth without my cloak,To let base clouds o’ertake me in my way,Hiding thy brav’ry in their rotten smoke?‘Tis not enough that through the cloud thou break,To dry the rain on my storm-beaten face,For no man well of such a salve can speakThat heals the…
Full many a glorious morning have I seen
Kissing with golden face the meadows green,Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy;Anon permit the basest clouds to rideWith ugly rack on his celestial faceAnd from the forlorn world his visage hide,Stealing unseen to west with this disgrace.Even so my sun one early morn did shineWith all-triumphant splendour on my brow;But out, alack! he was but…
