Sonnet 14 Annotated

And yet methinks I have Astronomy,

Pointing to each his thunder, rain and wind,
Or say with princes if it shall go well

But from thine eyes my knowledge I derive,
And, constant stars, in them I read such art
As truth and beauty shall together thrive,
If from thyself, to store thou wouldst convert;
Or else of thee this I prognosticate:
Thy end is truth's and beauty's doom and date.
