Unperfect Actor (Sonnet 23) |
As an unperfect actor on the stage |
Who with his fear is put besides his part |
Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage |
Whose strength’s abundance weakens his own heart |
So I, for fear of trust, forget to say |
The perfect ceremony of love’s rite |
And in mine own love’s strength seem to decay |
O’ercharged with burden of mine own love’s might |
O let my books be then the eloquence |
And dumb presagers of my speaking breast |
Who plead for love and look for recompense |
More than that tongue that more hath more expressed |
O learn to read what silent love hath writ! |
To hear with eyes belongs to love’s fine wit |
