Sonnet 29 Shakespeare

My personal favorite sonnet by William Shakespeare

When in disgrace with fortune and men'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, Featur'd like him, like him with friends possess'd,
Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope, With what I most enjoy contented least:
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising, Haply I think on thee,--and then my state
(Like to the lark at break of day arising From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings That then I scorn to change my state with kings'.

I bring you a poetry in spanish, and some of inglish... (You're doing beautiful!) ...I say: Paloma mensajera del ocaso donde el fragante verso anocheciera, en su bóveda cual verso enmudeciera cual suburbano cuello cisne amara, de su trazo la sencilla calma diera los pasos que frías mentes daban hacia la víspera de un sueño, amaban. When in this luck I've fortune my disire that I mistake when the lucky price deceive the morning touch, inspire my old bird of substancial arise...
