    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.

That is why his

The quatrains are usually different ideas with separate tones and a couplet at the end of the sonnet binding the three quatrains together. However Sonnet 138 is slightly different because its first two quatrains are the same in tone. The first quatrain and second
