PROMPT THREE: MONEY-COUNTING MORNINGS
Your drabble this week is Allan-centric.
It must feature an image from the following Shakespearean sonnet.
And obviously, Allan must be the central focus of your drabble.
SONNET 29
When, in disgrace with Fortune and men's eyes
I all alone beweep my outcast state
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries
And look upon myself and curse my fate
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed
Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope
With what I most enjoy contented least.
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising
Haply I think on thee, and then my state
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate
For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
