An Italian sonnet intentionally couched in the British era of Early Modern English, from the beginning of the Tudor Period to the English Interregnum and Restoration, that is, from circa 1485 to 1688.
Wherefore gazest thee from yon balcony, O fairest Juliet? Searchest thou for one that loveth thee 'neath heaven's brazen sun, that son of Montague—'tis felony!? Thou lovest him? Ah! but loveth he thee? 'Ere long thy love for him wilt be undone by poison and—alas!—thou wilt be gone and we shalt grieve—both Houses!—yea, all we and Montague! I beg of thee—instead be mine? For I'm thy kinsman, Capulet! Be mine! And like that Romeo fore-said, I'll worship thee as divine; and forget that thy wayward heart near left me for dead whilst thou eloped with him, mine Juliet.
