S for subtle

and smoothWhen to the sessions of sweet silent thoughtI summon up remembrance of things past,Nostalgic toneI sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,Did not get what he wanted out of lifeAnd with old woes new wail my dear time's waste:So many things he didnt accomplish Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow,

Not used to crying, new grief, fresh grief For precious friends hid in death's dateless night, use of gloomy diction, sad, melancholy tone to itAnd weep afresh love's long since cancelled woe, His love left, or is dead?

And moan the expense of many a vanished sight:Death/time claims many beautiesThen can I grieve at grievances foregone,Deaths or tragedies that have already passedAnd heavily from woe to woe tell o'erTells others? Misery seeks company, wants pity/sympathyThe sad account of fore-bemoaned moan, Grieves over something already grieved for

Which I new pay as if not paid before.Needs to pay a debt?But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,All losses are restor'd and sorrows end.Friend good enough to give solace to speaker

Speaker is very emotional/Coming to the realization that he has nothing to love or enjoy.
