Sonnet 90

             ,         ,           ,        ,      ,
      Then hate | me when | thou wilt;| if ev|er, now;
       ,                ,          ,         ,          ,
      Now while*| the world | is bent | my deeds | to cross,
        ,               ,         ,          ,        ,
      Join with | the spite | of for|tune, make | me bow,
           ,         ,        ,        ,       ,
      And do | not^drop | in for | an aft|er-loss:
           ,    ,               ,         2    ,           ,      o
      Ah* do | not, when | my heart | hath escaped | this sor|row,
            ,         ,    ,          ,          ,
      Come^in | the rear|ward of | a con|quered woe;
            ,       ,       ,        ,      ,      o
      Give^not | a wind|y night | a rai|ny mor|row
           ,      ,       ,         ,     ,
      To ling|er out | a pur|posed ov|erthrow.
           ,           ,          ,         ,          ,
      If thou | wilt leave | me, do | not leave | me last,
            ,      ,        ,            ,            ,
      When oth|er pet|ty griefs | have done | their spite,
           ,        ,       ,         ,         ,
      But in | the on|set come,| so shall | I taste
           ,          ,      ,         ,           ,
      At first | the ve|ry worst | of for|tune's might;
           ,        ,          ,           ,          ,
      And oth|er strains | of woe,| which now | seem^woe,
           ,            ,         ,          ,          ,
      Compared | with loss | of thee,| will not | seem^so.

Lines 6 and 8 are hexameter
