Read this passage from Sonnet 29 by Shakespeare. What is the speaker describing in this quatrain? Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,

Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,

Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,

With what I most enjoy contented least;

Losing the love of the speaker's life

Remembering all the blessings that the speaker has

Comparing himself to others who seem to have more

A beautiful friendship between two people
