About

Sonnet 22 in the 1609 Quarto.

Sonnet 22 marks a departure from the previous sonnets in the sequence. There is no mention of the Fair Youth having children to perpetuate his beauty. Instead Shakespeare is clearly in love with the young man. Perhaps because of the age difference, the Bard is focused...

Sonnet 22 Annotated

My glass shall not persuade me I am old,
So long as youth and thou are of one date;
But when in thee time's furrows I behold,
Then look I death my days should expiate.
For all that beauty that doth cover thee,
Is but the seemly raiment of my heart,
Which in thy breast doth live, as thine in me:
How can I then be elder than thou art?
O! therefore, love, be of thyself so wary
As I, not for myself, but for thee will;
Bearing thy heart, which I will keep so chary
As tender nurse her babe from faring ill.
Presume not on thy heart when mine is slain,
Thou gav'st me thine not to give back again.
