    Sonnet 1 by Edmund Spenser and Sonnet 130 by William Shakespeare differ greatly in form‚ tone‚ content‚ meaning‚ and persona. Shakespeare begins with a rather unflattering attribute; "My mistress’ are nothing like the sun" while Spenser‚ praises his love by wishing he were a book she was reading. Sonnet 1 by Spenser follows a rhyme scheme of his own devising (ababbcbccdcdee) that combines interwoven thoughts. In this sonnet he praises his wife’s beauty and attempts to flatter her through conveying

    Misleading Love Although love can be kind and beautiful‚ it can cause some people to become blind and follow their hearts rather than think with their mind. “Sonnet 30” by Edmund Spenser dramatizes the conflict of a man’s burning desire to be with a woman who has no interest in him.

    Anne Poindexter 11/18/12 English IV Mr. Tiller Analysis of Sonnet 81 William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 81 was meant to serve as an epitaph to immortalize its subject‚ a beloved youth.

    Sonnet 17 Explication Who will believe my verse in time to come If it were filled with your most high deserts? Though yet‚ heaven knows‚ it is but as a tomb Which hides your life and shows not half your parts. If I could write the beauty of your eyes And in fresh numbers number all your graces‚ The age to come would say “This poet lies: Such heavenly touches ne’er touched earthly faces.” So should my papers yellowed with their age Be scorned like old men of less truth than tongue‚ And

    Sonnet 69 was written by Pablo Neruda in the 20th century.  As I was reading the original sonnet‚ I was filled with inner joy and love.  The original sonnet brings profound feelings‚ flashbacks‚ and makes you and the sonnet feel as if one.  However‚ the translation of sonnet 69 does not.
