"Is it for fear to wet a widow’s eye,". Sonnets IX "Is it for fear to wet a widow’s eye" by William Shakespeare
https://www.poetrycat.com/william-sh...t-a-widows-eye
Great history :) Found a possible Isabel for the poem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isabel...ss_of_Pembroke
Shakespeare: My knowledge of his poetry is woefully lacking... and I have some fine books of his poetry, et al that I've never cracked! (shameful). So, I googled of course and found this: https://poemanalysis.com/william-shakespeare/sonnet-9/ My impression was nowhere near what the analysis stated (sigh).
