(note: In the right hand margin, "sonnets" is written. At (Thencers?) Social Feast - They both together form a word Which when those hours are hark They grieve to think howe'er deferd: (note: "d" was on top of the colon, which probably means that this is shorthand for deferred.) Must be pronounc'd at last. (note: slight flourish at the end to indicate the last sentence of that section. The next line has two underlines to indicate the end of the section.)
