9. Drink to me only with thine eyes,     And I will pledge with mine;Or leave a kiss within the cup     And I'll not ask for wine.The thirst that from the soul doth rise     Doth ask a drink divine;But might I of Jove's nectarsip,     I would not change for thine. I sent thee late a rosy wreath,     Not so much honouring theeAs giving it a hope that there     It could not withered be;But thou thereon didst only breathe,     And sent'st it back to me,Since when it grows and smells, I swear,     Not of itself but thee!

11. Lines written in early spring

12. I heard a thousand blended notes, While in a grove I sat reclined, In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts. Bring sad thoughts to the mind. To her fair works did Nature link The human soul that through me ran; And much it grieved my heart to think What man has made of man. The budding twigs spread out their fan, To catch the breezy air; And I must think, do all I can That there was pleasure there. If this belief from heaven be sent. If such be Nature's holy plan. Have I not reason to lament What man has made of man ?

26. When I consider how my light is spent, Ere half my days, in this dark world and wide, And that one talent which is death to hide. Lodged with me useless, though my soul more bent To serve therewith my Maker, and present My true account, lest he returning chide, 'Doth God exact day -labour, light denied ?' I fondly ask .But patience, to prevent abba Octave abba cde That murmur, soon replies: God doth not need Either man's work or his own gifts; who best Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His state Is kingly: thousands at his bidding speed, And post 0' er land and ocean without rest: They also serve who only stand and wait. Sestet cde

27. The best known among the poets who preferred to stick to the original Petrarchan form is John Milton.

30. Quatrain When in disgrace with tortune and men's eyes I all alone beweep my outcast state, And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries, And look upon myself -and curse my fate. Unity of Theme Quatrain Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, Featured like him ,like him with friends possesses Desiring this man's art ,and that man's scope With what I most enjoy contented least; Quatrain Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising, Happily I think on thee, and then my state, Like to the lark at break of day arising From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate; Couplet For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings That then I scorn to change my state with kings
