No, Time, thou shalt not boast that I do change: Thy pyramids built up with newer might To me are nothing novel, nothing strange; They are but dressings of a former sight.

Sonnet 123 at Historic Stone Street, Manhattan

Where we had our last ShakesBEER pub crawl!

O! never say that I was false of heart, Though absence seemed my flame to qualify, As easy might I from my self depart As from my soul which in thy breast doth lie:

Sonnet 109 at Snug Harbor Cultural Center, Staten Island

Your love and pity doth the impression fill, Which vulgar scandal stamped upon my brow; For what care I who calls me well or ill, So you o’er-green my bad, my good allow?

Lo! in the orient when the gracious light Lifts up his burning head, each under eye Doth homage to his new-appearing sight, Serving with looks his sacred majesty.

The poetry in this sonnet emphasizes the similarity between the cycle of the human life and the cycle of the rising and setting sun.
