“Thy bosom is endeared with all hearts”
Sonnet XXXI
THY bosom is endeared with all hearts |
|
Which I by lacking have supposed dead; |
|
And there reigns Love, and all Love’s loving parts, |
|
And all those friends which I thought buried. |
|
How many a holy and obsequious tear |
5 |
Hath dear religious love stol’n from mine eye, |
|
As interest of the dead, which now appear |
|
But things remov’d that hidden in thee lie! |
|
Thou art the grave where buried love doth live, |
|
Hung with the trophies of my lovers gone, |
10 |
Who all their parts of me to thee did give, |
|
That due of many now is thine alone: |
|
Their images I lov’d I view in thee, |
|
And thou—all they—hast all the all of me. |
