Shakespeare tells us about a man who has fallen on hard times. He despises himself for his ill fate and wishes he were in more fortunate circumstances. He thinks his prayers fall on deaf ears. He has come to to be dissatisfied with the things he once enjoyed.
Then he thinks about the love of his life and all his woes fade away. Much like the break of dawn moves the lark to sing beautifuly, the happy thoughts of his love make the man realize how unimportant his material problems are.
While earlier he wishes to have been in the circumstances of someone more fortunate, he now says that no riches can match the wealth he has in his loved one.
