1-From fairest creatures we desire increase

2-When forty winters shall beseige thy brow

3-Look in thy glass, and tell the face thou viewest

4-Unthrifty loveliness, why dost thou spend

5-Those hours, that with gentle work did frame

6-Then let not winter's ragged hand deface

7-Lo! in the orient when the gracious light

8-Music to hear, why hear'st thou music sadly?

9-Is it for fear to wet a widow's eye

10-For shame! deny that thou bear'st love to any,

11 As fast as thou shalt wane so fast thou grow'st

12 When I do count the clock that tells the time

13 O that you were yourself, but love you are

14 Not from the stars do I my judgement pluck

15 When I consider everything that grows

16 But wherefore do not you a mightier way

17 Who will believe my verse in time to come

18 Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day?

19 Devouring time blunt thou the lion's paws

20 A woman's face with nature's own hand

21 So is it not with me as with that Muse

22 My glass shall not persuade me I am old

23 As an unperfect actor on the stage

24 Mine eye hath played the painter and hath

25 Let those who are in favour with their stars

26 Lord of my love, to whom in vassalage

27 Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed

28 How can I then return in happy plight

29 When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes

30 When to the sessions of sweet silent thought

31 Thy bosom is endeared with all hearts

32 If thou survive my well contented day

33 Full many a glorious morning have I seen

34 Why didst thou promise such a beauteous day

35 No more be grieved at that which thou hast

36 Let me confess that we two must be twain

37 As a decrepit father takes delight

38 How can my Muse want subject to invent

39 Oh how thy worth with manners may I sing

40 Take all my loves, my love, yea take them all

41 Those pretty wrongs that liberty commits

42 That thou hast her it is not all my grief

43 When most I wink then do mine eyes best see

44 If the dull substance of my flesh were thought

45 The other two, slight air and purging fire

46 Mine eye and heart are at a mortal war

47 Betwixt mine eye and heart a league is took

48 How careful was I when I took my way

49 Against that time, if ever that time come

50 How heavy do I journey on my way

51 Thus can my love excuse the slow offence

52 So am I as the rich whose blessed key

53 What is your substance, whereof are you made

54 Oh how much more doth beauty beauteous seem

55 Not marble nor the gilded monuments

56 Sweet love renew thy force, be it not said

57 Being your slave what should I do but tend

58 That God forbid, that made me first your slave

59 If there be nothing new, but that which is

60 Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore

61 Is it thy will thy image should keep open

62 Sin of self-love possesseth all mine eye

63 Against my love shall be as I am now

64 When I have seen by Time's fell hand defaced

65 Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea

66 Tired with all these for restful death I cry

67 Ah wherefore with infection should he live

68 Thus is his cheek the map of days outworn

69 Those parts of thee that the world's eye doth view

70 That thou art blamed shall not be thy defect
