William Shakespeare - Sonnet 91: Some glory in their birth, some in their skill

Some glory in their birth, some in their skill,
Some in their wealth, some in their body's force,
Some in their garments though new-fangled ill,
Some in their hawks and hounds, some in their horse;
And every humour hath his adjunct pleasure,
Wherein it finds a joy above the rest,
But these particulars are not my measure;
All these I better in one general best.
Thy love is better than high birth to me,
Richer than wealth, prouder than garments' costs,
Of more delight than hawks and horses be;
And having thee, of all men's pride I boast—
    Wretched in this alone, that thou mayst take,
    All this away and me most wretched make.

The development of the poem should be that the poet feels strongly about love. Love to him is of higher importance and joy than material possessions, like money or garments(clothes), and hunting (suggested in hawks and horses). The above is only my opinion. I hope it helped. shoe2 Comment 1 of 2, added on March 27th, 2005 at 2:11 AM. i want the development of this poem nesreen from Yemen More Comments >> Are you looking for more information on this poem?
