Wishing that he possessed another man’s skills “desiring this man’s art,” or someone else’s opportunities “that man’s scope,” which things he wants yet doesn’t have and that makes him unhappier “what I most enjoy contented least ”īut in spite of hating himself, “thoughts myself almost despising,” he thinks of his love “I think on thee” and those thought uplift his heart like a lark in the morning “lark at break of day” who flies up as if to sing at the gates of heaven “hymns at heaven’s gate ” He will wish “wishing me” he was a man who had more hope “one more rich in hope” and wish to be like those “featured like him” who are handsome and have more friends “him with friends possessed,”. The poet is in total depression saying that when he meets with misfortune “disgrace with fortune” and is disgraced in eyes of men, “men’s eyes” he will weep alone “alone be weep” and cry out to heaven who is deaf to him “deaf heaven with my bootless cries,” and he will feel self pity and curse himself “and curse my fate”.
