  1. Sonnet 61 By Ian, Kole, Richard

  2. Quatrain 1 • Is it thy will, thy image should keep openMy heavy eyelids to the weary night?Dost thou desire my slumbers should be broken,While shadows like to thee do mock my sight? • Is it because you will it to be so that your image keeps openMy sleepy eyes at night?Do you really want my sleep to be interrupted,While shadows of you taunt me?

  3. Quatrain 2 • Is it thy spirit that thou send'st from theeSo far from home into my deeds to pry,To find out shames and idle hours in me,The scope and tenure of thy jealousy? • Do you send your spirit to me from wherever you areTo watch all that I do,To find out how I spend my time; to see if I am doing something you don't like? Is this how jealous you really are?

  4. Quatrain 3 • O no, thy love though much, is not so great,It is my love that keeps mine eye awake,Mine own true love that doth my rest defeat,To play the watchman ever for thy sake. • But no! Your love may be strong, but it is not that great: It is my own love for you that keeps me awake at night,My own true love that watches all that I do For your sake.

  5. Couplet • For thee watch I, whilst thou dost wake elsewhere,From me far off, with others all too near. • For you alone I watch, while you are waking somewhere far away,You are far from me, while others are too near.
