Can someone help me out? I'm not a native english speaker so this one challenges me a bit.


Rewrite this excerpt from Sidney’s Sonnet 16 in your own words.


And, Love, I thought that I was full of thee;

But finding not those restless flames in me,

Which others said did make their souls to pine,

I thought those babes of some pin's hurt did whine,

I thought I was full of love, but when I found that it was not in me, which others said it hurt their souls, I thought those in the pin of hurt did whine.(as in they're trapped by the emotional pain)

I thought I had experienced love

I didn't feel the strong passion that others described and that pained them to their souls

I thought they were just overly sensitive to a small source of pain
