"Basically, being me involves sitting in a room with lots of people who don't want to be there and a few who want to be there way too much."

Sonet 57 (Sonetten, der startede det hele)
Being your slave what should I do but tend
Upon the hours, and times of your desire?
I have no precious time at all to spend;
Nor services to do, till you require.
Nor dare I chide the world without end hour,
Whilst I, my sovereign, watch the clock for you,
Nor think the bitterness of absence sour,
When you have bid your servant once adieu;
Nor dare I question with my jealous thought
Where you may be, or your affairs suppose,
But, like a sad slave, stay and think of nought
Save, where you are, how happy you make those.
So true a fool is love, that in your will,
Though you do anything, he thinks no ill.

Sonet 57 er den første af sonetterne, som jeg læste i sin helhed, og den fik mig til at læse de andre. Det er mere eller mindre, "jeg er din slave, du kan derfor gøre som du har lyst til. Og det gør du desværre også (l.13 you do anything)".
"Nor" bliver gentaget så mange gange at man får fornemmelsen af, at det skal se ud som om, budskabet er vigtigere end formen og at fortælleren virkelig lader være med mange ting han egentlig er i sin fulde ret til. The lady doth protest too much.
Linie 13: will er will og Will. og vennen der skrives til hedder også Will. I 1609 versionen var Will kapitaliseret.
