Sonnet 66
- 2. The Young Man and the Dark Lady
- 3. The First Quatrain Tired with all these, for restful death I cry, As, to behold desert a beggar born, And needy nothing trimm'd in jollity, And purest faith unhappily forsworn,
- 4. The Second Quatrain And guilded honour shamefully misplaced, And maiden virtue rudely strumpeted, And right perfection wrongfully disgraced, And strength by limping sway disabled,
- 5. The Third Quatrain And art made tongue-tied by authority, And folly doctor-like controlling skill, And simple truth miscall'd simplicity, And captive good attending captain ill: Galileo being sentenced to house arrest
- 6. Unusual Structure Tired with all these, from these would I be gone, Save that, to die, I leave my love alone.

Editor's Notes
- #3: All of Shakespeares 154 sonnets fall in to two sequences; the first of which is the Fair Youth sequence that includes sonnets 1-126. In the Fair Youth the poet is expressing his love for a young man. The second sequence is the Dark Lady sequence.
- #4: In the first quatrain of sonnet 66 Shakespeare is talking about how unfair it is that so many deserving people are born into poverty while other undeserving people are given many pleasures by fate.
- #5: In the second quatrain Shakespeare continues to go on about how unfair the world is.
- #6: In most of Shakespeares sonnets the third quatrain is were the turn starts to happen but in this sonnet he continues on talking about injustice about talented people being censored by authortity.
