MARIUS GORING reads j Shakespeare's Sonnets XXVI to XXXII and MARY WIMBUSH roads Sonnets CLIII and CLIV Introduced by RAYNER HEPPENSTALL
Weary with toil. I haste me to my bed,
The dear repose for limbs with travel tired;

For then my thoughts-from far where I abide-
Intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee.
