1 When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
2 I all alone beweep my outcast state
3 And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries
4 And look upon myself and curse my fate,
5 Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
6 Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd,
7 Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,
8 With what I most enjoy contented least;
9 Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
10 Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
11 Like to the lark at break of day arising
12 From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
13 For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings
14 That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
