Sonnet 28 - Emma Topping
[00:00.000]How can I then...
[00:00.000]How can I then return in happy plight,
[00:02.790]That am debarred the benefit of rest?
[00:05.570]When day's oppression is not eased by night,
[00:08.490]But day by night, and night by day, oppress'd?
[00:12.670]And each, though enemies to either's reign,
[00:15.580]Do in consent shake hands to torture me;
[00:18.670]The one by toil, the other to complain
[00:20.870]How far I toil, still farther off from thee.
[00:24.750]I tell the day, to please them thou art bright
[00:27.590]And dost him grace when clouds do blot the heaven:
[00:31.700]So flatter I the swart-complexion'd night,
[00:35.390]When sparkling stars twire not thou gild'st the even.
[00:38.570]But day doth daily draw my sorrows longer,
[00:42.570]And night doth nightly make grief's length seem stronger.
