Sonnets of William Shakespeare

The purpose of this edition is to improve on Shakespeare. Where his rhymes no longer match (or never did match) we have tried to to do so. Where is words are now obsolete, and cause millions of readers to stumble and fall by the wayside, we have picked them up and provided new sandals. This labor was fueled not by ambition but a hope: that there may be an enlargement of the word soul by the additions of noble thoughts and fertile imagination.
