Assignment 3:Skakespeare Sonnent.

Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion's paws,
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws,
And burn the long-liv'd phoenix, in her blood;
Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleet'st,
And do whate'er thou wilt, swift-footed Time,
To the wide world and all her fading sweets;
But I forbid thee one most heinous crime:
O! carve not with thy hours my love's fair brow,
Nor draw no lines there with thine antique pen;
Him in thy course untainted do allow
For beauty's pattern to succeeding men.
Yet, do thy worst old Time: despite thy wrong,
My love shall in my verse ever live young.


Analysis: It opens up saying over time the lion ages and his claws be come worn and dull, that creatures die. Then to disarm the tiger of his teach and kill the phoenix with her own fire. Time do what ever you want to any beautiful object in the world. But you are forbidden to commit the worst crime of them all. The this is were Shakespeare writes about his lover. He says don't age my love time. Don't give him wrinkles. As you destroy everything that you come across spare him. Let him keep his beauty and posterity. Then he closes up with; do your worst. Whatever you may do my love will remain young and beautiful in my poems. Shakespeare makes a good point. Over time beauty fades and people change. But in his poems his lover will always stay beautiful and young.

Laziness, you take control of the best,
And make them weak and dull;
Steal the muscles from the strongest,
And burn the minds, on a couch;
You tempt us with your easy life,
And say this is the easier, way through the day,
To the wide world and all her fading men;
But I forbid thee one most heinous crime:
O! carve not with thy hours myself will remain strong,
Nor draw no paths with the remote control;
Let me go run a course motivation inside me
For the lazy life is uneventful.
Yet, then why do so many give in: even when they know,
That laziness can consume you and soon will control you.
