William Shakespeare - Sonnet 28: “How can I then return in happy plight…”William Shakespeare - Sonnet 28: “How can I then return in happy plight…”
Work rating: Low


How can I then return in happy plight  That am debarred the benefit of rest?  When day`s oppression is not eased by night,  But day by night and night by day oppressed.  And each (though enemies to either`s reign)  Do in consent shake hands to torture me,  The one by toil, the other to complain  How far I toil, still farther off from thee.    I tell the day to please him thou art bright,  And dost him grace when clouds do blot the heaven:  So flatter I the swart-complexioned night,  When sparkling stars twire not thou gild`st the even.    But day doth daily draw my sorrows longer,    And night doth nightly make grief`s length seem stronger.
