Sonnet 41

              ,        ,           ,     ,        ,
      Those pret|ty wrongs | that lib|erty | commits,
           ,        ,        ,        ,          ,
      When I | am some|time^ab|sent from | thy heart,
            ,       ,          ,       T    T   .  T
      Thy beaut|y, and | thy years | full well befits,
            ,          ,       ,         ,           ,
      For still | tempta|tion fol|lows where | thou art.
       ,             ,          ,         ,       ,
      Gentle | thou art,| and there|fore to | be won,
        ,   2           ,           ,        ,        ,
      Beauteous | thou art,|*therefore | to be | assailed.
            ,       ,       ,           ,        ,
      And when | a wom|an woos,| what* wom|an's son
             ,       ,           ,         ,          ,
      Will sour|ly leave | her till | he have | prevailed?
            ,        ,            ,           ,         ,
      Aye* me,| but yet | thou mightst | my seat | forbear,
            ,           ,       ,          ,         ,
      And chide | thy beaut|y, and | thy stray|ing youth,
            ,          ,          ,    ,       ,
      Who lead | thee^in | their ri|ot ev|en there
              ,           ,          ,     .  T   T    T
      Where thou | art forced | to break | a twofold truth:
        ,             ,       ,        ,         ,
      Hers by | thy beaut|y tempt|ing her | to thee,
        ,              ,      ,       ,         ,
      Thine by | thy beaut|y be|ing false | to me.
