2000
O mistress faint hath comfort longing truth
For that you were your fair or few o'erworn
Both easy garments pen preserve did dun
Or hairs of soul were brass, with thee doth smother
For there thyself hath put the main report
Whilst I such roses being long compare
If would such thorns this purpose come too short
Under sides thus that hidden now appear
O that thou seest will hold thy have alack
Hung with so vex'd my loving eye with me
That it a friend he could of all of naught
If thou itself through ending all thy troth
For we of that in one thee in my tongue
He pays sweet virtue sourly good report
[Each foot taken from its place in 60p selection
of Sh. sonnets ie "he pays" from the first foot
of the 13th line of one, "sweet virtue" from the
second foot of the 13th line of another etc. Is
one rhythm predominately being served throughout
the sonnets, its variants returning it to it; is
this like Mozart by computer? No, no, that's Haydn -
by a ZX Spectrum....]
