An oration by James Louis Steed of the 9th of Shakespeare's 154 sonnets published in 1609. This sonnet is the ninth of the author's "Fair Youth" and "procreation" sonnets. Shakespeare asks the fair youth if it is out of fear of leaving a young widow that he remain single. He then goes on to say that, if that is the case, it is still better to have loved and lost. And if he were to bear a child with his potential wife, he would live on through that child and not really be lost to her.
