*Sonnet 29    When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes
  Sonnet 30    When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
  Sonnet 31    Thy bosom is endeared with all hearts

  Sonnet 40    Take all my loves, my love, yea, take them all
  Sonnet 44    If the dull substance of my flesh were thought
  Sonnet 53    What is your substance, whereof are you made
  Sonnet 55    Not marble, nor the gilded monuments
  Sonnet 57    Being your slave, what should I do but tend
  Sonnet 58    That god forbid that made me first your slave
  Sonnet 59    If there be nothing new, but that which is
  Sonnet 60    Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore
  Sonnet 61    Is it thy will thy image should keep open

  Sonnet 90    Then hate me when thou wilt; if ever, now
  Sonnet 91    Some glory in their birth, some in their skill
  Sonnet 92    But do thy worst to steal thyself away
  Sonnet 93    So shall I live, supposing thou art true
  Sonnet 94    They that have power to hurt, and will do none
  Sonnet 95    How sweet and lovely dost thou make the shame
  Sonnet 97    How like a winter hath my absence been
  Sonnet 98    From you have I been absent in the spring
