Welcome to the
home of the original William Shakespeare Sonnet-a-Day mailing list.
We've been publishing this list for over 5 years now and it
is currently received by over 120,000 subscribers. This
list is published in conjunction with The Literature
Network which spawned this list in the first place. For
more on Shakespeare you can visit the William Shakespeare
page.
We've found that people are
generally more comfortable with a less than daily mailing,
so the list is only mailed out 3 times a week, and this page
is actually only updated 3 times a week. Currently the RSS
feed mirrors this, however we plan to offer a second RSS feed
for people who would like a more accelerated pace.
Sonnet #134
CXXXIV.
So, now I have confess'd that he is thine, And I myself am mortgaged to thy will, Myself I'll forfeit, so that other mine Thou wilt restore, to be my comfort still: But thou wilt not, nor he will not be free, For thou art covetous and he is kind; He learn'd but surety-like to write for me Under that bond that him as fast doth bind. The statute of thy beauty thou wilt take, Thou usurer, that put'st forth all to use, And sue a friend came debtor for my sake; So him I lose through my unkind abuse. Him have I lost; thou hast both him and me: He pays the whole, and yet am I not free.
