  2. Sonnet 71 No longer mourn for me when I am dead Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell Give warning to the world that I am fled From this vile world, with vilest worms to dwell: Nay, if you read this line, remember not The hand that writ it; for I love you so, That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot, If thinking on me then should make you woe. Oh, if, I say, you look upon this verse When I perhaps compounded am with clay, Do not so much as my poor name rehearse, But let your love even with my life decay; Lest the wise world should look into your moan, And mock you with me after I am gone.

  3. Paraphrase • No longer mourn for me when I am dead • When I die, don’t mourn my death • Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell • When you hear the funeral bell • Give warning to the world that I am fled • Tell the world that I have died • From this vile world, with vilest worms to dwell: • I am leaving this world to live with the worms

  4. Paraphrase • Nay, if you read this line, remember not • If you read this don’t remember • The hand that writ it, for I love you so • The person who wrote it because I love you • That in your sweet thoughts would be forgot • I’d be in your forgotten from your sweet thoughts • If thinking on me then should make you woe. • Because thinking of me makes you sad

  5. Paraphrase • O, if, I say, you look upon this verse • When you read this • When I perhaps compounded am with clay, • When I amcovered with dirt and clay • Do not so much as my poor name rehearse. • Don’t even speak my name

  6. Paraphrase • But let your love even with my life decay, • When I die, let your love for me die too • Lest the wise world should look into your moan • Otherwise, people will wonder why you're sad • And mock you with me after I am gone. • And will make fun of you after I am gone

  14. Other works:Sonnet 72 O, lest the world should task you to reciteWhat merit lived in me, that you should loveAfter my death, dear love, forget me quite,For you in me can nothing worthy prove;Unless you would devise some virtuous lie,To do more for me than mine own desert,And hang more praise upon deceased IThan niggard truth would willingly impart:O, lest your true love may seem false in this,That you for love speak well of me untrue,My name be buried where my body is,And live no more to shame nor me nor you.For I am shamed by that which I bring forth,And so should you, to love things nothing worth.
