So I, made lame by Fortune’s dearest spite, Take all my comfort of thy worth and truth;

II. Sonnet XXXIII

And from the forlorn world his visage hide, Stealing unseen to west with this disgrace

III. Sonnet LXVI

And simple truth miscalled simplicity, And captive good attending captain ill:

IV. Sonnet XII

When I do count the clock that tells the time, And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;

V. Sonnet LXIV

This thought is as a death which cannot choose But weep to have that which it fears to lose.
