Shakespeare--Sonnet 56

1. Sweet love, renew thy force; be it not said
2. Thy edge should blunter be than appetite,
3. Which but to-day by feeding is allayed,
4. To-morrow sharpened in his former might:
5. So, love, be thou, although to-day thou fill
6. Thy hungry eyes, even till they wink with fulness,
7. To-morrow see again, and do not kill
8. The spirit of love, with a perpetual dulness.
9. Let this sad interim like the ocean be
10. Which parts the shore, where two contracted new
11. Come daily to the banks, that when they see
12. Return of love, more blest may be the view;
13. As call it winter, which being full of care,
14. Makes summer's welcome, thrice more wished, more rare.
