    Sonnet CXXX” is a spoof of the typical love sonnets written by Shakespeare’s contemporaries.

As the poem opens‚ in the first quatrain‚ we are introduced to the narrator’s‚ “I”‚ “mistress.” This term however‚ is not

    Poems used: John Keats’ ’On the Sonnet’ 1848 If by dull rhymes our English must be chained‚  And‚ like Andromeda‚ the Sonnet sweet  Fettered‚ in spite of painéd loveliness;  Let us find out‚ if we must be constrained‚  Sandals more interwoven and complete  To fit the naked foot of poesy;  Let us inspect the lyre‚ and weigh the stress  Of every chord‚ and see what may be gained  By ear industrious‚ and attention meet;  Misers of sound and syllable‚ no less  Than Midas of his coinage‚

    Holy Sonnet XIX Oh‚ to vex me‚ contraries meet in one: Inconstancy unnaturally hath begot A constant habit; that when I would not I change in vows‚ and in devotion. As humorous is my contrition As profrane love‚ and as soon forgot: As riddingly distempered‚ cold and hot‚ As praying‚ as mute; as infinite‚ as none. I durst not view in heaven yesterday; and today In prayers and flattering speeches I court God: Tomorrow I wake with true fear of his rod. So my devout fits come and go away Like

    SONNET 116 Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds‚ Or bends with the remover to remove: O no! it is an ever-fixed mark  That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wandering bark‚ Whose worth’s unknown‚ although his height be taken. Love’s not Time’s fool‚ though rosy lips and cheeks  Within his bending sickle’s compass come:  Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks‚  But bears it
