Farewell! thou art too dear for my possessing.
Sonnet 87

They that have power to hurt, and will do none,
That do not do the thing they most do show,
Who, moving others, are themselves as stone,
Unmoved, cold, and to temptation slow;
They rightly do inherit heaven's graces,
And husband nature's riches from expense.
Sonnet 94

For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds;
Lilies that fester, smell far worse than weeds.
Sonnet 94

How like a winter hath my absence been
From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year!
What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen!
What old December's bareness everywhere!
Sonnet 97

When in the chronicle of wasted time
I see descriptions of the fairest wights,
And beauty making beautiful old rhyme,
In praise of ladies dead and lovely knights.
Sonnet 106

For we, which now behold these present days,
Have eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise.
Sonnet 106

Not mine own fears, nor the prophetic soul
Of the wide world dreaming on things to come.
Sonnet 107

And thou in this shalt find thy monument,
When tyrants' crests and tombs of brass are spent.
Sonnet 107

Alas! 'tis true, I have gone here and there,
And made my self a motley to the view,
Gored mine own thoughts, sold cheap what is most dear,
Made old offences of affections new.
Sonnet 110

My nature is subdued
To what it works in, like the dyer's hand.
Sonnet 111
