Texte du Storyboard

  • In this line from Sonnet 71, the speaker is discussing that once my body is buried, " with clay" or covered with dirt, the young boy should not mourn. It is important to the poem because of it's meaning. This poem is about the death of the speaker and how he doesn't want the young boy to feel said about the death when he is gone.
  • When I perhaps compounded am with clay,
  • In this line from the poem the speaker wants the young boy to forget about him. After the death, the speaker wants the boy to never speak of his name. That he should not "rehearse" or speak the speaker's name. 
  • Do not so much as my poor name rehearse;
  • The beginning lines of the poem make use of apostrophe, as the speaker urges an unidentified person to refrain from grieving the speaker's own death for longer than it takes for the funeral bell to stop ringing. Consequently, the first three lines of this sonnet establish that the speaker is unsentimental when it comes to the prospect of dying, preferring to focus on the poem's, the speaker's loved one and how this person will cope with the loss. In turn, the speaker emerges as a selfless, thoughtful person.
  • In Sonnet 71, the Turn is in line 12 "But let your love even with my life decay;" Before line 12 the speaker wanted the young boy to forget after the death because the speaker doesn't want him to mourn the death for the rest of his life. Instead the speaker wants the beloved to move on completely and live his life without sorrow. Well in line 12 you can see the emotional turn in the poem. The speaker understands that it will be hard to move on but you have to let the love "decay" or in my words, rest in peace with the speaker's death. It is the only best way to move on with his life.
  • After the Turn, the speaker is now concentrating on his own death and how the young boy is to mourn him after he is dead. The speaker once told the young boy not to mourn for him when he is dead, and that the youth should only think about him for as long as it takes to tell the world of his death.
  • Lest the wise world should look into your moan,
  • Sonnet 71 focuses on love, but it is also the death of the speaker. The speaker knows there is no way to escape death. When you have a loved one involved as well it may be even harder for the beloved to move on. The speaker understands that, but it okay to move on with your life after a death that hard.
  • This last line of the poem goes back to the speaker now wanting the young boy to carry on his name. Not in a mourning, sad way but in an honorable way. 
  • And mock you with me after I am gone.
