Summary
Two Elizabethan sonnets (c.1590-1600) were recently paired in the British Library's Department of Manuscripts.
Item (a), headed "Sonnet 85: For F--," was donated anonymously in 1986 with the sole condition that it be displayed alongside item (b).
Item (b), headed "Pour celui qui demeure dans mon cœur" [For the one who remains in my heart], was recovered in 1952 from the debris of a private London residence destroyed during the Blitz.
