Translation Trashbin - 13. O thou, my lovely boy, who in thy power

The 126th love poem for his beautiful boy – Mr. W.H., "the only begetter of these ensuing Sonnets" – stands out for its form. One, it's the only one rhymed in couplets throughout, and the final two lines are missing. 
For some unknown reason, I was thinking about that this morning and remembering how the original 1609 edition supplies two empty-but-bracketed lines below the poem. This is to emphasis the concluding couplet is missing. But why? As all the evidence points to the poet himself preparing this volume for printing, it's not likely we can say the couplet was "lost." Perhaps, if you follow Booth's reasoning, the title of "Sonnet" for 126 is loose, and refers to the older meaning of sonnetto as general love lyrics. His theory is reasonable, but totally refuted by the nature of the love-lyric-sonnets published in The Passionate Pilgrim. If you compare those songs to 126, it's clear the W.H. poem is a Sonnet in the strictest sense. So my reasoning wondered, could the redacted couplet have been too suggestive, too erotic, too sensual to publish? That is an interesting idea, but more research would have to be done to build an argument for it.
I supplied an ending, one which I think ties up the themes of the poem quite nicely, and returns to the boy vs. man subject of several of the other Sonnets. Thank you for reading      
(The slight editing I have done to the poem is to bring it back in line with the original 1609 version for spelling and punctuation. For example, the source material has "power" but later, prissier editors changed it to a ludicrous "pow'r," for reasons unknown...)
