Shakspeare's Sonnets.

SHAKSPEARE'S SONNETS .

THIS is Love ' s book , men say , and only meant For the fair leisure of a summer ' s day ; Yet antique Time , whose march brooks no delay , Still pores upon its page with rapt intent , And shields its truth from Love ' s embellishment . Ah ! oft by storm-cloud , and through winter way ,

Have chance and change rung out their potent lay , Albeit the world holds on , with calm content , To its old poet guides and chosen friends , Whose music thrills responsive chords that wake Heart melodies , wrought to dirinest ends , With charms no new song ever dares to break ;

Faithful this singing is , —let us be wise , And welcome ever its sweet harmonies . W . BBAILSFOKD .
