Storyboard Text
- In the first four lines of ‘Sonnet 71,’ the speaker begins by telling the Fair Youth what he should do after the speaker dies.The youth should only mourn as long as the “surly sullen bell,” is ringing which marks the speaker’s funeral.
- "No longer mourn for me when I am deadThan you shall hear the surly sullen bell"
- In the next four lines of ‘Sonnet 71,’ the speaker tells the youth that in the future when the speaker is dead and the youth is reading the lines that the speaker wrote, he hopes they won’t remember him and instead take pleasure in the lines themselves without worrying about who wrote them or where they are.
- "Nay, if you read this line, remember notThe hand that writ it, for I love you so"
- Shakespeare makes use of several poetic techniques in ‘Sonnet 71’ one being Alliteration. An example, the use of the words “world” and “worms” in line four and “wise world” in line thirteen.
- Line 13 then marks a turning point in the poem, when the speaker says that the world will register the lover's sorrow if the lover doesn't manage to sufficiently move on from mourning the speaker's death.
- 13 Lest the wise world should look into your moan,
- in line 14, the speaker will be used to “mock” the youth or control him in some way, which Shakespeare does not make clear. This is something that the speaker would like to avoid for the sake of the young man.
- 14 And mock you with me after I am gone.
- the poem ended at line 14.there is no "second line after the turn". only one.
