WILL S Sonnet 71 

A typical Shakespearean (quatorze 12+2) sonnet form- with no title (preferring the verse to speak for itself:traditional first word capitalisation: in three abab quatrains for the body (meat of its content) :with the couplet (goto it)summary.In this case in an  negative (selfish?) epitaph like ' voice from the grave ' advice to his once loved one to 'let your love even with my life decay' a half empty ' sentiment perhaps to a lost love rather than 'widowed' one.
