Shakespeare's Sonnet 148
<p>Shakespeare questions his vision in this one. and I compare it to "Shallow Hal". </p><p><br></p><p><em>Sonnet 148</em></p><p><em>O me, what eyes hath love put in my head,</em><br><em>Which have no correspondence with true sight!</em><br><em>Or if they have, where is my judgment fled,</em><br><em>That censures falsely what they see aright?</em><br><em>If that be fair whereon my false eyes dote,</em><br><em>What means the world to say it is not so?</em><br><em>If it be not, then love doth well denote</em><br><em>Love’s eye is not so true as all men’s “no.”</em><br><em>How can it? O, how can love’s eye be true,</em><br><em>That is so vexed with watching and with tears?</em><br><em>No marvel then though I mistake my view;</em><br><em>The sun itself sees not till heaven clears.</em><br><em> O cunning love, with tears thou keep’st me blind,</em><br><em> Lest eyes well-seeing thy foul faults should find.</em></p>
