Sonnet 142
Lo, in the springtime of her youth she died; But, as the best to taste must always be With very little salt, so in her life Lived not this noble heart, this noble eye.
That even the stars do pity, and in love As if each star did know each star as such, And, though she died not, her death's not a love, So like a love to love the thing we lack.
That, as a leaf, so may a leaf be known, That in her spring, she died, and thus in love.
But if a leaf be known as love, then how May it be known, in love, if it be known?
