Sonnet

The first suggestion is that it should be read!

It is quite short, it is a love poem, but touches on a number of aspects to human life, particularly of the sadness humans experience due to misfortune and own failings.

Here is a paraphrase, (quoted from Related Links below).

When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,I all alone beweep my outcast stateAnd trouble deaf heaven with my bootless criesAnd look upon myself and curse my fate,Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd,Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,With what I most enjoy contented least;Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,Haply I think on thee, and then my state,Like to the lark at break of day arisingFrom sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth bringsThat then I scorn to change my state with kings.-----------------------

The moral principles in this sonnet includes the avoidance of covetousness, and the nobility and supremacy of contentment.

English sonnets, also known as Shakespearean sonnets, have a rhyme scheme of ABAB CDCD EFEF GG. Italian sonnets, also known as Petrarchan sonnets, have a rhyme scheme of ABBA ABBA CDE CDE. English sonnets typically consist of three quatrains followed by a rhyming couplet, while Italian sonnets consist of an octave followed by a sestet.

A sonnet with 10 syllables in each line is typically referred to as a decasyllabic sonnet. It is a specific form of the sonnet that follows a strict meter and rhyme scheme.

Shakespeare's "Sonnet 18" ("Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?"), "Sonnet 130" ("My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun"), and Petrarch's "Sonnet 90" ("She used to let her golden hair fly free").

The term "sonnet" derives from the Provençal word sonet and the Italian word "sonetto," both meaning "little song." By the thirteenth century, it had come to signify a poem of fourteen lines that follows a strict rhyme scheme and specific structure. The conventions associated with the sonnet have evolved over its history

The purpose of Holy Sonnet IX, also known as "If poisonous minerals," is to express the speaker's willingness to embrace God's punishment and to seek repentance for their sins. The sonnet reflects the theme of humility and surrender to divine will.

Yes, some sonnets utilize repetition as a poetic device. For example, Petrarchan sonnets often use repetition of words or themes in the first eight lines (octave) and then in the final six lines (sestet) to emphasize a point or idea. Shakespearean sonnets may also employ repetition within the three quatrains and final couplet to develop a particular argument or theme.

Many 16th century musicans and composers made operas and sonnets.

There are 3 four-line stanzas in a Shakespearean Sonnet. The last stanza has 2 lines. Each line has 10 syllables and has a rhyming pattern of a-b-a-b-c-d-c-d-e-f-e-f-g-g

Literary critics usually distinguish sonnets into two major families.

A Petrarchan Sonnet has fourteen lines arranged into a group of eight lines, followed by a group of six (an octave followed by the sestet). A change in the point of view nearly always occurs between the two parts, this is called the volta (Italian for 'turn').

A typical rhyme scheme for a Petrarchan sonnet is ABBA ABBA CDECDE.

A Shakespearian sonnet also has fourteen lines, but this time they are arranged as three groups of four (quatrains) followed by a riming pair (couplet). The usual pattern is that an idea will be developed through the three quatrains, then summed up in the couplet.

Typical rhyming for a Shakespearian sonnet is ABAB CDCD EFEF GG.

Shakespearian sonnets are more common, and more natural, in English because they use fewer rhymes (words which rhyme together are much rarer in English than in Spanish, French or Italian).

While these are the two main forms, there are many interesting hybrids. John Donne's 'Terrible' sonnets have elements of both Petrarchan and English structure, whereas Milton's sonnets use Petrarchan rhyme patterns, but rarely have a discernible volta.

The sonnets of Shelley's 'Ode to the West Wind' are neither Petrarchan nor Shakespearian - they are a new form. And many of Gerard Manley Hopkins sonnets follow no rules but their own.

A sonnet must have fourteen lines.

It has to be written in Iambic Pentameter (unaccented, accented, unaccented, accented)

It must have a specific rhyme scheme, such as that of a Shakespearean sonnet viz:

A

B

The differences between Italian and English sonnets were likely first established by Italy's Petrarch, who popularized the Petrarchan or Italian sonnet form, characterized by an octave followed by a sestet. The English or Shakespearean sonnet was later introduced by William Shakespeare, featuring three quatrains followed by a couplet.

1. "The Soldier" by Rupert Brooke portrays a romanticized view of death in battle, portrayed as an honorable sacrifice for one's country.

2. The poem reflects the idyllic landscape, traditional values, and way of life in England, painting a picture of a peaceful, timeless countryside.

3. Patriotism is deeply ingrained in the poem, with the soldier expressing a strong allegiance and duty to England, viewing his death in battle as a way of immortalizing his love for his homeland.

4. "The Soldier" is structured as a Shakespearean sonnet, using the traditional 14-line form with an ABABCDCDEFEFGG rhyme scheme, reinforcing the traditional and formal tone of the poem.

The hind belonged to someone else, the hind believed to be Anne Boleyn had been married to Henry VIII, who the writer worked for. The hind was "royal property". and if he would have continued the hunt it would have been dangerous for him.

14 lines, with rhyming couplets in the last 2 lines.

The poet expresses his morn towards busy schedule which has forced/ prevented him from enjoying the nature and life.

I suppose it is because some poets chose to change things up a little. For Shakespeare, some think that he changed the way he wrote certain parts of his plays based on a character's motivations... for instance, if a character was rebellious, then the "formal" structure might be changed out a little. In general, the answer is poetic license. Poets change the way they do things in order to improve the poems... that is, unless it was a mistake. For some poets, it might be.

The first 8 lines of a sonnet are called the octet.

A sonnet is a specific form of poetry with 14 lines and a regular rhyme scheme, often expressing emotions or ideas. An ode is a lyrical poem typically characterized by its elaborate language and elevated style, often written in praise or celebration of someone or something. Sonnets tend to be more structured and introspective, while odes are more celebratory and expansive in tone.

In Sonnet 1 by Edmund Spenser, the speaker hopes that his words, together with the immortality promised by the poem itself, will make the lady immortal through his verse, thus ensuring her eternal fame and beauty.

In sonnet one by Edmund Spenser, the speaker addresses the concept of time, nature, and the immortality of poetry. The poet reflects on the passing of time, the cycles of nature, and how poetry has the power to preserve beauty and truth beyond the limits of time.

The literary terms in "Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day" by William Shakespeare include sonnet (14-line poem with a specific rhyme scheme), metaphor (comparing the beauty of the person to a summer's day), and iambic pentameter (meter with five metrical feet per line).
