Fire. He uses the word three times in the poem: "love-kinding fire" (l. 3), "holy fire" (l. 5), and "new fire" (l. 14). He also uses the word "brand" ( a flaming torch) in lines 2 and 8, and "heat" in line 6 which continue the motif. Interestingly, the following Sonnet uses the same motif, the same allegory, and the same key words.
