Day 21 - Sonnet #25
Let those who are in favour with their stars,
Of public honour and proud titles boast,
Whilst I whom fortune of such triumph bars
Unlooked for joy in that I honour most;
Great princes' favourites their fair leaves spread,
But as the marigold at the sun's eye,
And in themselves their pride lies buried,
For at a frown they in their glory die.
The painful warrior famoused for fight,
After a thousand victories once foiled,
Is from the book of honour razed quite,
And all the rest forgot for which he toiled:
Then happy I that love and am beloved
Where I may not remove nor be removed.
As always - feedback, comments and creativity are welcome!

I love this! I saw you on the Reduced Shakespeare FB page - what a great and noble piece of work you are doing! I will surely find some way for my theatre students to get involved with this when school starts. Thank you, Nathan!
