    the tradition of the poet Petrarch‚ whose sonnets dealt with a wooing male lover. Petrarch arranged his sonnets into ‘sonnet consequences’ or ‘sonnet cycles’‚ in which series of sonnets were linked together by a common theme based on the various aspects of the lover’s relationship. Spencer also arranged his ‘Amoretti’ in ‘sonnet sequences’. Spencer himself evolved his own structure for the English sonnet which has come to be known as the Spenserian sonnet.

    Sonnet 116 Literary Analysis Sonnet 116 is one of the most famous of the sonnets for its stalwart defense of true love. The sonnet has a relatively simple structure with each quatrain attempting to describe what love is (or is not) and the final couplet reaffirming the poet’s words by placing his own merit on the line. The opening lines of the sonnet dive the reader into the theme at a rapid pace‚ accomplished in part by the use of enjambment--the continuation of a syntactic unit from one line

Sir Thomas Wyatt and The Earl of Surrey brought the Petrarchan sonnet to England and with that an admiration for lyrical poetry. This had major consequences

    Shakespeare’s 18th and 130th sonnets have similar messages‚ and yet manage to contrast one another entirely. Both sonnets discuss the uselessness of applying superlatives to the description of a person. The Bard’s 18th sonnet‚ “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day‚” addresses someone who Shakespeare feels is more beautiful and perfect than a summer day and that even the clearest skies and loveliest flowers are no match for his beloved. Sonnet 130‚ “My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun‚” also

    The two poems I chose to bring into comparism are sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare and Song:To Celia by Ben Jonson. Both poems are similar in the sense that they both come under the broad theme of romantic love although they differ much in terms of aspects. In sonnet 18‚ the persona expresses his deep admiration towards the beloved while rating her beauty of one that is even more impressive than that of the lovely and lively season summer putting across a subject matter of admiration and adulation
