Sonnet 2! Tried italic font, though I have a long way to go with it!

Shakespeare's Sonnet 1 done in French Bâtarde script

Not my best penmanship but consistency has to come from somewhere.

Note: I did change the last word in line 12 because of the resemblance between the original and a racial slur. I was worried about this one, too, due to its occasional use in some circles alongside antisemitic tropes and conspiracy theories, but ultimately stuck with it after a bit more research. That said, antisemitism and bigotry is not tolerated here.
