consonance:
S for subtle
and smooth

When to the sessions of sweet silent thought

I summon up remembrance of things past,
Nostalgic tone
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
Did not get what he wanted out of life

And 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 it

And 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 beauties

Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,

Deaths or tragedies that have already passed

And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er

Tells others? Misery seeks company, wants pity/sympathy

The 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.
