because I like the sonnet's structure too much, and because if you nearly
know it by heart you can go through it remembering the real words. I don't
have a problem with archaic language in a context like this, but I suppose
some people can 't make sense of it nowadays, especially people who weren't
brought up with biblical language. Ah well we can only please some of the
