Is this your favorite? I have not studied the sonnets nearly as much as I have worked with the plays. I do like this though. I will give it some more time later today.
Thank you for this.

Lo! in the orient when the gracious light
: Lifts up his burning head, each under eye
: Doth homage to his new-appearing sight,
: Serving with looks his sacred majesty;
: And having climb'd the steep-up heavenly hill,
: Resembling strong youth in his middle age,
: yet mortal looks adore his beauty still,
: Attending on his golden pilgrimage;
: But when from highmost pitch, with weary car,
: Like feeble age, he reeleth from the day,
: The eyes, 'fore duteous, now converted are
: From his low tract and look another way:
: So thou, thyself out-going in thy noon,
: Unlook'd on diest, unless thou get a son.
