William Shakespeare - Sonnet 25: "Let those who are in favour with their stars..."
Work rating: Low

Let those who are in favour with their stars
Of public honour and proud titles boast,
Whilst I, whom fortune of such triumph bars,
Unlook`d for joy in that I honour most.
Great princes` favourites their fair leaves spread
But as the marigold at the sun`s eye,
And in themselves their pride lies buried,
For at a frown they in their glory die.
The painful warrior famoused for fight,
After a thousand victories once foil`d,
Is from the book of honour razed quite,
And all the rest forgot for which he toil`d:
   Then happy I, that love and am beloved
   Where I may not remove nor be removed.
