SONNET 147
E sent her plays to Es.
Essex longed for death “I owe God-”
Next time this phrase belongs to Raleigh
147 Regret at writing series?
158 Recog. of impossibility of knowing truth?
Love is illness
Love is unsure of truth
Perhaps this is Essex spkg. + #152 is E. spkg.
Error he thinks he has committed–but not sure

SONNET 148
Bacon forgives
Harrington letter (wr. by Rob. Markham) spies
Could be Eliz. to Mary
Truth difficult
Poet uncertain as to what is so– (emotion + time-blinded)
Line 13
