"Shall I", being Shakespeare, "compare thee" thee being the... |

| Comparing and Contrasting Love Poetry - Each poem in our selection has its own unique structure. Some are written in several stanzas, some in sonnet form and others simply in one stanza. Each poem also has its own rhyme and rhythm pattern. The sonnets may be written in one stanza but it is quite easy to make out where the argumentative 'split' actually comes in. For example in 'Sonnet 18', at the end of each suggested break there is a colon and therefore we can see that the poem is split... |

The first was from his birth in 1572 to his ordination in January 1615 and the second was from then till his death in March... |
