Warm Up 1.24 The Sonnet (write down only what is bolded): It is a poem of fourteen lines, usually iambic. The Petrarchan, or Italian, sonnet contains eight lines of meaning, followed by six. The rhyme scheme (different from Shakespearean): ababcdcd and cdecde. The Shakespearean, or English, sonnet is more precise. It uses this rhyme scheme: ababcdcdefefgg There are two basic formats : The problem is given in first two quatrains (8 lines), dealt with tentatively in the last quatrain, and solved summarily in the couplet, or The situation is developed through one example from each couplet, and concluded in the rhyming couplet. The part after which the sonnet’s context changes in purpose is known as the ‘turn’.

Learning Targets To read examples of the sonnet. To use the SIFT method to analyze these poems. To determine the theme of each poem and to fill out the chart.

Sonnet 116 Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove: O no; it is an ever-fixed mark,  That looks on tempests, and is never shaken; It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks  Within his bending sickle's compass come;  Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,  But bears it out even to the edge of doom.    If this be error and upon me proved,    I never writ, nor no man ever loved.  -Willy S.
