Made Tied

Made Tied
“And art made tongue-tied by authority,”?

from Shakespeare’s sonnet 66, its a line that i’m having trouble understanding. can someone answer for me?

Interpretations contextual and personal, the original tale seems not to change or vary at all …..

TIR’D with all these, for restful death I cry ,
As to behold desert a beggar born,
And needy nothing trimm’d in jollity,
And purest faith unhappily forsworn,
And gilded honour shamefully misplac’d,
And maiden virtue rudely strumpeted,
And right perfection wrongfully disgraced,
And strength by limping sway disabled,
And art made tongue-tied by authority,
And folly—doctor-like—controlling skill, 10
And simple truth miscall’d simplicity,
And captive good attending captain ill:
Tir’d with all these, from these would I be gone,
Save that, to die, I leave my love alone.

Life is a mournful death, for death I do beseech
Witness this solitary soul in chains a yearning
Peace and joy are here as facades for an ill
Light of loving kindness overshadowed, by he betrayed
the glittered sins in grandeur slyly cackle
behind smiling masks of false flattery and praise
the blameless one cast into sinful aspersion
Fidelity outcast condemned, to aggrandise fools playthings
The pillar and bastion lies a broken temple
Whilst equality gains sinners as better examples
A morality and faith in one forsaken,
tis bitter gall and this chalice and elixir poisoned
seats of power sustained by grand oblations
of one they secretly conspire to torment and destroy
spin doctoring it rouses hates lake of fire
cast wisdom and its people into confusion
minions on grand thrones expose their folly
truth and virtue cast ruined into devils lair
Honour disgraced, harlot witches stand exalted
I tire of life, it seems life tires of me
Yes crows and blaggards have great use in store
Discouraged, vilified enchained in glass temple
Upon attack of the hardest diamond displays
Beg for death for life lies beyond its threshold
And life is but a prolonged living painful death
