I love your farewell! Totally inappropriate, but just for fun, I venture this poor couplet as my summary of this sonnet: "Don't keep your dear beauty just for your self. Generate fair interest on that wealth." :-)

I don't think mine is better. I just thought it would be fun to give it a try. I learned a lot from you. I thought at first the sonnet was addressed to a girl! If you weren't doing this I would be missing out on close reading of the sonnets of Shakespeare, our master of prosody about any subject under the sun. It is much better to share this kind of thing with smart friends.
