This template should be placed at the top of each article for William Shakespeare's individual sonnets (e.g. Sonnet 1).It provides navigation to the previous and next sonnets in the sequence, a place for an image from the 1609 Quarto with caption, and houses the full text of the sonnet with verse structure apparatus and citation.
