    hands forever” because it would mean they did not love each other at anytime in their relationship. This emphasises the overall idea that Drayton is kidding himself in the octave of the sonnet. Unlike Shakespeare‚ Michael Drayton uses the idea of the sestet to introduce an unexpected turn in the path of the sonnet’s theme‚ instead of the last two lines‚ which Shakespeare uses. The twist is the realisation of love. He creates the image of when a priest (faith) kneels by his bed at death‚ meaning he is
