Sonnet 44

                 ,   ,          ,        ,             ,
      If the / dull sub|stance^of | my flesh | were thought,
         ,    2   ,           ,           ,        ,
      Injur|ious dist|ance should | not stop | my way;
            ,        ,          ,         ,           ,
      For then | despite | of space | I would | be brought,
            ,       ,       ,             ,           ,
      From lim|its far | remote,| where thou | dost^stay.
          ,        ,         ,          ,          ,
      No mat|ter then | although | my foot | did stand
        ,          ,         ,          ,           ,
      Upon | the farth|est earth | removed | from thee;
           ,          ,           ,          ,          ,
      For nim|ble thought | can jump | both sea | and land
           ,         ,           ,            ,          ,
      As soon | as think | the place | where he | would be.
       .   T     T      T          ,            ,     ,
      But^ah, thought kills | me that | I am / not thought,
       .   T    T      T           ,            ,          ,
      To leap large lengths | of miles | when thou | art gone,
            ,         ,         ,          ,        ,
      But^that,| so much | of earth | and wat|er wrought,
          ,     .  T     T    T         ,         ,
      I must | attend time's leis|ure with | my moan,
         ,          ,        ,     ,          ,
      Receiv|ing nought | by el|ements | so slow
           ,       ,      ,           ,         ,
      But hea|vy tears,| badges | of eith|er's woe.
