If you mean Shakespeare's Sonnet #1 (From fairest creatures we desire increase ...) the tone is witty banter (a bit like nagging, but more lighthearted and jokey).

Sonnet #1 has the basic message: 'Yes, you are good-looking; but what is the point of looking good unless you have children who will one day be as handsome as you are?'

The sonnet is one of the Fair Youth sonnets, where Shakespeare talks to a young man he knows, and tries to persuade his friend to marry and have children.
