SONNET 138

June's monstrance buzzed o'er mountains hundred olive-aged;

He, too, affects the new tomorrow's volition

By his own gives chase affinities and his page,

The face of confidence pale so burnt ignition

Pries hope, folded so lent for waves plowed inventive,

Hence able in fortune ruined, deplete and thrown

From latitude beset yet wiser's same believed

The poured sentinels on the cheek of night, and 'ts ghosts

Old men loved once. But one demise spectacular

Outshines it, O maker of life both friend and fiend:

One deserter of youth and his gracious father.

Let the old stay 'nd dry through 'nd 'neath the northeastern winds

You knew no Kronos if benefit's to be free,

Though this be consequence in the heart of the sea.
