Shakespeare&#8217;s sonnets are a collection of poems in sonnet form written by William Shakespeare that deal with such themes as time, love, beauty and mortality. They were probably written over a period of several years. All 154 poems appeared in a 1609 collection, entitled SHAKE-SPEARES SONNETS.

SONNET 29
When, in disgrace with fortune and men&#8217;s eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him [...]]]></description>

Shakespeare lost his ring at the 1616 wedding of his daughter Judith; it was found near Stratford Church in 1810.
Shakespeare died on this day in 1616, also his birthday. He&#8217;d drawn up his will earlier the new year although he wasn&#8217;t that old at fifty-one, but in those days people drew up their wills when [...]]]></description>

The old bladder-faced portrait plastered on every Shakespeare anthology ever published is soon to be replaced. But I think the Bard&#8217;s actual image is a modern-day version of Elizabethan navel-gazing, despite the musings of the august Stanley Wells. Maybe publishers should do a collage of portraits?
