It is identified by its title \"Sonnet 39\" and consists of 14 lines of verse.\n\n## Context\nThis sonnet is part of the [Venus and Adonis, Lucrece, Sonnets, and Pericles (Facsimile Editions)](arke:01KG6S3KNZT62WVVW4VT384KPF) poetry collection, which contains facsimile editions of William Shakespeare's works. The text of Sonnet 39 was extracted from the file [pdf-01KG6Q7Q25RHMFT3SJXPV18VFF.txt](arke:01KG6S2X2EBB305ENM00G16GWA) and is also associated with the [PDF Workflow Main Test 2026-01-30T00:26:53](arke:01KG6NWQ2H2K4PGG7H4ZHYCZ3Y) collection. It follows [Sonnet 38](arke:01KG6S4BK3WEMH9GNN3ZK5HV1E) and precedes [Sonnet 40](arke:01KG6S4BK7YHM7NM0YT7A64E7Q) within the collection.\n\n## Contents\nSonnet 39 explores themes of self-praise, separation, and the nature of love in absence. The speaker questions how they can praise the beloved when the beloved is \"all the better part of me,\" suggesting a deep connection where praising the other is akin to praising oneself. The poem then proposes a temporary division to allow the speaker to give the beloved the \"due\" they deserve alone. Absence, initially seen as a torment, is reframed as a \"sweet leave\" that allows for contemplation and deception through thoughts of love, ultimately teaching how to make \"one twaine, By praising him here who doth hence remaine.\"","description_generated_at":"2026-01-30T06:26:20.676Z","description_model":"gemini-2.5-flash-lite","description_title":"Sonnet 39","end_line":10913,"extracted_at":"2026-01-30T06:23:29.732Z","extracted_by":"structure-extraction-lambda","label":"Sonnet 39","source_file":"01KG6S2X2EBB305ENM00G16GWA","start_line":10895,"text":"H how thy worth with manners may I singe,\nWhen thou art all the better part of me?\nWhat can mine ownie praise to mine owne selfe bring;\nAnd what is’t but mine owne when I praise thee,\nEuen for this, let vs deuided liue,\nAnd our deare loue loose name of single one,\nThat by this seperation I may giue:\nThat due to thee which thou deseru’lt alone:\nOh absence what a torment wouldst thou proue,\nWere it not thy soure leisure gaue sweet leaue,\nTo entertain the time with thoughts of loue,\nV\nWhich time and thoughts so sweetly dost deceiue,\nAnd that thou teachest how to make one twaine,\nBy praising him here who doth hence remaine.\n\n40\n\nT","title":"Sonnet 39"},"relationships":[{"peer":"01KG6S3KNZT62WVVW4VT384KPF","peer_type":"poetry_collection","predicate":"in"},{"peer":"01KG6S2X2EBB305ENM00G16GWA","peer_type":"file","predicate":"extractedFrom"},{"peer":"01KG6NWQ2H2K4PGG7H4ZHYCZ3Y","peer_type":"collection","predicate":"collection"},{"peer":"01KG6S4BK3WEMH9GNN3ZK5HV1E","peer_type":"sonnet","predicate":"prev"},{"peer":"01KG6S4BK7YHM7NM0YT7A64E7Q","peer_type":"sonnet","predicate":"next"}],"ver":3,"created_at":"2026-01-30T06:23:29.895Z","ts":"2026-01-30T06:26:20.892Z","edited_by":{"method":"manual","user_id":"01KFF5C36SQEVDHC9CBNZZJH9K"}}
