The Sonnets IX - Is it for fear to wet a widows eye
Is it for fear to wet a widows eye, That thou consumst thy self in single life? Ah! if thou issueless shalt hap to die, The world will wail thee like a makeless wife; The world will be thy widow and still weep That thou no form of thee hast left behind, When every private widow well may keep By childrens eyes, her husbands shape in mind: Look! what an unthrift in the world doth spend Shifts but his place, for still the world enjoys it; But beautys waste hath in the world an end, And kept unused the user so destroys it. No love toward others in that bosom sits That on himself such murdrous shame commits.
