    • 7 Pages

    order for a poem to be classified as a sonnet‚ it must meet certain structural requirements‚ and Sonnet 138‚ "When my love swears that she is made of truth‚" is a perfect example.

    ESSAY; Sir Philip Sidney: Sonnet XXXI from Astrophel and Stella „With how sad steps‚ O Moon ‚ thou climb’st the skies!“ With how sad steps‚ O Moon‚ thou climb’st the skies! How silently‚ and with how wan a face! What! may it be that even in heavenly place That busy archer his sharp arrows tries? Sure‚ if that long-with-love-acquainted eyes Can judge of love‚ thou feel’st a lover’s case: I read it in thy looks; thy languish’d grace To me‚ that feel the like‚ thy state

Petrarch had an overwhelming need for a new way of expressing the various aspects of his love for his Laura. He adapted a mediaeval song form to his purpose and
