Sonnet 78:
Disperse my rudeness.
See what influences of yours I’ve advanced and doubled. See what more you do! You are all my art. Help my style, my alien use. Teach / learn my rude ignorance.
Only these exceptions: I wasn’t talking to you. I was speaking on high to sing to the fair interest of the corps. Ah, same time, so often have I invoked you as a muse, I’m afraid I can’t keep working with you looking over my shoulder
only to know the poetry is yours, born of you.
