There really is not a direct speaker in the poem except for the author that wrote it, and in this case Shakespeare would be the speaker. The tone Shakespeare uses in the poem closely resembles honesty, confidence, and happiness. Honesty, because the way the poem was written with such honest feelings that he had for the one he loved for proof all you have to do is read it once. Confidences because he is not afraid to love this person/thing, and he is not easily swayed by what others think, even if what he loves is not real, “Thou mayst be false, and yet I know it not”. Last but not least, happiness. Happiness because he proudly says it in line 12 in quadrant 3, “Happy to have thy love, happy to die!” This claim from the poem supports my use of the description of the word, happiness, for Shakespeare openly says
