Shakespeare's Sonnets - Sonnet 3

Shakespeare penned 154 sonnets that were included in his 1609 'quarto'. These sonnets delve into themes like the flow of time, death, affection, aestheticism, unfaithfulness, and envy. The initial 126 sonnets are dedicated to a young male, while the final 28 are directed towards an enigmatic 'dark lady'.

In Shakespeare's Sonnet 2, the poet elaborates on the inevitable march of time that will ravage the young man's beauty, urging him to sire a child who will bear his youthful image and loveliness into the future, allowing him to confront old age without regret for his faded grandeur.
