He then uses some metaphors to help describe his struggle to compose himself. The metaphors “I’m stone. I’m flesh”‚ show how the speaker is split on how he feels (line 5).

I mean that it is hard to read rather than hard to understand because there are some old English words. For example‚ Shakespeare states‚ Shall I compare thee to a summer ’s day? -1st line Thou art more lovely and more temperate -2nd line And summer ’s lease hath all too short a date -4th line He used ’thee ’ and ’thou ’ instead of ’you ’ and ’your ’.
