About

Sonnet 57 in the 1609 Quarto.
This sonnet continues the sequence that deals with Shakespeare’s love for the Fair Youth. He castigates himself for waiting slavishly for the beautiful boy, tries not to feel anger, but instead wallows in sadness while being aware of the foolishness of such behaviour.

Sonnet 57 Annotated

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 anything, he thinks no ill.
