  • Summary

  • Jacob joins me for our penultimate sonnet in this series of 4! As well as deconstructing Sonnet 102, we discuss distressing story of Philomel and her importance to Shakespeare.


    Sonnet 102

    My love is strengthen'd, though more weak in seeming;
    I love not less, though less the show appear;
    That love is merchandized whose rich esteeming
    The owner's tongue doth publish everywhere.
    Our love was new, and then but in the spring
    When I was wont to greet it with my lays;
    As Philomel in summer's front doth sing,
    And stops her pipe in growth of riper days:
    Not that the summer is less pleasant now
    Than when her mournful hymns did hush the night,
    But that wild music burthens every bough
    And sweets grown common lose their dear delight.
    Therefore like her, I sometime hold my tongue,
    Because I would not dull you with my song.
