Interpretation of Sonnets

Full many a glorious morning I have seen

Flatter the mountain tops with sovereign eye,

Kissing with golden face the meadows green,

Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy;

Anon permit the basest clouds to ride

With ugly rack on his celestial face,

Hiding thy bravery in their rotten smoke?

'Tis not enough that through the cloud thou break,


And they are rich and ransom all ill deeds.
