(note: short line to indicate the end of that paragraph)

My first and second are the Lot of each delighted guest When every sorrow is forgot (note: appears to have made a mistake spelling "forgot" because the word is in darkened ink and there are traces of the previous barely visible.) (note: In the right hand margin, "sonnets" is written. At Spencers Social Feast - They both together form a word (image: big "X" stamp with black splotch from where the ink must have gotten wet. Obscures most of "hark" on the next line.) Which when those hours are past 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.)

I would not be my first (note: In the right hand margin, "Scotland" is written.) For the sake of my second Nor for the possession of my whole. (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.)

What the mail coach cannot go without- and is not the least service to it. (illegible: noose?) (note: There is downward facing carat which may have been a "w" to try to correct it to the word "news".) (note: the "r" in "service" was placed above the "e" and a carat was below the "e" to indicate that the word was originally misspelled.) (note: the next line has an underline to indicate the end of the section.)

My first is myself and a very short word My second's a Puppet (note: "a" in this sentence is above was a barely crossed out ampersand) & you are my third. Idol
