William Shakespeare - Sonnet 57: "Being your slave what should I do but tend..."William Shakespeare - Sonnet 57: "Being your slave what should I do but tend..."
Work rating: Medium


Being your slave what should I do but tend,  Upon the hours, and times of your desire?  I have no precious time at all to spend;  Nor services to do till you require.    Nor dare I chide the world-without-end hour,  Whilst I (my sovereign) watch the clock for you,  Nor think the bitterness of absence sour,  When you have bid your servant once adieu.  Nor dare I question with my jealous thought,  Where you may be, or your affairs suppose,  But like a sad slave stay and think of nought  Save where you are, how happy you make those.    So true a fool is love, that in your will,    (Though you do any thing) he thinks no ill.
