The first suggestion is that it should be read!
It is quite short, it is a love poem, but touches on a number of aspects to human life, particularly of the sadness humans experience due to misfortune and own failings.
Here is a paraphrase, (quoted from Related Links below).
When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,I all alone beweep my outcast stateAnd trouble deaf heaven with my bootless criesAnd look upon myself and curse my fate,Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd,Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,With what I most enjoy contented least;Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,Haply I think on thee, and then my state,Like to the lark at break of day arisingFrom sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth bringsThat then I scorn to change my state with kings.-----------------------
The moral principles in this Sonnet includes the avoidance of covetousness, and the nobility and supremacy of contentment.
