    Sonnet 138 Analysis In “When my love swears that she is made of truth‚” William Shakespeare uses personification‚ pun‚ and tone to unmask the fear that the speaker feels towards his age.

    Edmund Spenser’s Amoretti chronicles his courtship with his wife Elizabeth Boyle. It was originally published in 1595 and loosely follows the Petrarchan sonnet model.
