SONNET 66
By William Shakespeare
Tired with all these, for restful death I cry,
____________________________________
As, to behold desert a beggar born,
__________________________________________
And needy nothing trimm'd in jollity,
_________________________________________
And purest faith unhappily forsworn,
_________________________________________
And guilded honour shamefully misplaced,
____________________________________
And maiden virtue rudely strumpeted,
________________________________________
And right perfection wrongfully disgraced,
____________________________________
And strength by limping sway disabled,
_______________________________________
And art made tongue-tied by authority,
_______________________________________
And folly doctor-like controlling skill,
_________________________________________
And simple truth miscall'd simplicity,
_________________________________________
And captive good attending captain ill:
_______________________________________
Tired with all these, from these would I be gone,
_____________________________
Save that, to die, I leave my love alone.
