Sonnet 128<\/strong><\/p>\n

(This text featured in our interview with Charles Tuthill<\/a>)<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0How oft, when thou, my music, music play’st,
\n2. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Upon that blessed wood whose motion sounds
\n3. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0With thy sweet fingers, when thou gently sway’st
\n4. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The wiry concord that mine ear confounds,
\n5. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Do I envy those jacks that nimble leap
\n6. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0To kiss the tender inward of thy hand,
\n7. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Whilst my poor lips, which should that harvest reap,
\n8. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0At the wood’s boldness by thee blushing stand!
\n9. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0To be so tickled, they would change their state
\n10. \u00a0And situation with those dancing chips,
\n11. \u00a0O’er whom thy fingers walk with gentle gait,
\n12. \u00a0Making dead wood more blest than living lips.
\n13. \u00a0Since saucy jacks so happy are in this,
\n14. \u00a0Give them thy fingers, me thy lips to kiss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
