William Shakespeare Sonnet 7 Lo! in the orient when the gracious light
Edna St. Vincent Millay Sonnet 7 I do but ask that you be always fair
William Shakespeare Sonnet 70 That thou art blamed shall not be thy defect

William Shakespeare Sonnet 72 O! lest the world should task you to recite
William Shakespeare Sonnet 73 That time of year thou mayst in me behold
William Shakespeare Sonnet 74 But be contented: when that fell arrest
William Shakespeare Sonnet 75 So are you to my thoughts as food to life
William Shakespeare Sonnet 76 Why is my verse so barren of new pride
William Shakespeare Sonnet 77 Thy glass will show thee how thy beauties wear
William Shakespeare Sonnet 78 So oft have I invoked thee for my Muse
William Shakespeare Sonnet 79 Whilst I alone did call upon thy aid
William Shakespeare Sonnet 8 Music to hear, why hear'st thou music sadly?
William Shakespeare Sonnet 80 O! how I faint when I of you do write

William Shakespeare Sonnet 82 I grant thou wert not married to my Muse
William Shakespeare Sonnet 83 I never saw that you did painting need
William Shakespeare Sonnet 84 Who is it that says most, which can say more
William Shakespeare Sonnet 85 My tongue-tied Muse in manners holds her still
William Shakespeare Sonnet 86 Was it the proud full sail of his great verse
William Shakespeare Sonnet 87 Farewell, thou art too dear for my possessing
William Shakespeare Sonnet 88 When thou shalt be disposed to set me light
William Shakespeare Sonnet 89 Say that thou didst forsake me for some fault
Edna St. Vincent Millay Sonnet 9 I think I should have loved you presently
William Shakespeare Sonnet 9 Is it for fear to wet a widow's eye
William Shakespeare Sonnet 90 Then hate me when thou wilt, if ever, now
William Shakespeare Sonnet 91 Some glory in their birth, some in their skill
William Shakespeare Sonnet 92 But do thy worst to steal thyself away
William Shakespeare Sonnet 93 So shall I live, supposing thou art true
