'I all alone beweep my outcast state'.
There is prosthesis (= addition of letters to the beginning of a word: beweep).

When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes, = When I’ve fallen out of favor with fortune and men,
I all alone beweep my outcast state = All alone I weep over my position as a social outcast,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries = And pray to heaven, but my cries go unheard,
And look upon myself and curse my fate, = And I look at myself, cursing my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, Wishing I were like one who had more hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd, Wishing I looked like him; wishing I were surrounded by friends,
Desiring this man's art and that man's scope, = Wishing I had this man's skill and that man's freedom.
With what I most enjoy contented least; =I am least contented with what I used to enjoy most.
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising, = But, with these thoughts – almost despising myself,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state, = I, by chance, think of you and then my melancholy
Like to the lark at break of day arising = Like the lark at the break of day, rises
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate; = From the dark earth and (I) sing hymns to heaven;
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings = For thinking of your love brings such happiness
That then I scorn to change my state with kings. = That then I would not change my position in life with kings.
