I just want to say that as a high school student, the translation was an amazing help so thank you.

I also note that the “original” is in modern English (a photo of the original type-set text is on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonnet_34). The words have largely retained their meaning since Shakespeare’s time, so a simple close reading will be just as helpful, while keeping the rhythm and shape of the words.
