The last few days I've been committed to organizing and getting things accomplished off of my to do list and pushing myself to deal with some things I need to process. As this has been very tedious and exhausting but also rewarding I needed a mental break for a bit and grabbed one of my William Shakespeare collections and flipped open to Sonnet 57.
Sonnet 57: Being your slave, what should I do but tend
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Being your slave, what should I do but tend
Upon the hours and times of your desire?
I have no precious time at all to spend,
Nor services to do, till you require.
Nor dare I chide the world-without-end hour
Whilst I, my sovereign, watch the clock for you.
Nor think the bitterness of absence sour
When you have bid your servant once adieu;
Nor dare I question with my jealous thought
Where you may be, or your affairs suppose,
But like a sad slave, stay and think of nought,
Save, where you are how happy you make those.
So true a fool is love that in your will
Though you do anything, he thinks no ill.
