Le Sonnet 71 est l'un des 154 sonnets écrits par le dramaturge et poète William Shakespeare.

Texte original Texte et typographie originale : NOe Longer mourne for me when I am dead, Then you ſhall heare the ſurly ſullen bell Giue warning to the world that I am fled From this vile world with vildeſt wormes to dwell: Nay if you read this line,remember not, The hand that writ it,for I loue you ſo, That I in your ſweet thoughts would be forgot, If thinking on me then ſhould make you woe. O if(I ſay)you looke vpon this verſe, When I (perhaps) compounded am with clay, Do not ſo much as my poore name reherſe; But let your loue euen with my life decay. Leaſt the wiſe world ſhould looke into your mone, And mocke you with me after I am gon.
