About

Sonnet 62 in the 1609 Quarto.

This sonnet continues the sequence dedicated to the Fair Youth. It explores the idea of “self-love”, starting with the assertion that it is a sin. It is only after the second quatrain that the Bard reveals the true, ravaged person he sees in the mirror; the first twist...

Sonnet 62 Annotated

Sin of self-love possesseth all mine eye
And all my soul, and all my every part;
And for this sin there is no remedy,
It is so grounded inward in my heart.
Methinks no face so gracious is as mine,
No shape so true, no truth of such account;
And for myself mine own worth do define,
As I all other in all worths surmount.
But when my glass shows me myself indeed
Beated and chopp'd with tanned antiquity,
Mine own self-love quite contrary I read;
Self so self-loving were iniquity.
'Tis thee, myself, that for myself I praise,
Painting my age with beauty of thy days.
