Read Shakespeare's "Sonnet 100.” (Where art thou, Muse, that thou forget'st so long

To speak of that which gives thee all thy might?

Spend'st thou thy fury on some worthless song,

Darkening thy power to lend base subjects light?)

Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem

In gentle numbers time so idly spent;

Sing to the ear that doth thy lays esteem

And gives thy pen both skill and argument.

Rise, resty Muse, my love's sweet face survey,

If Time have any wrinkle graven there;

If any, be a satire to decay,

And make Time's spoils despised every where.

Give my love fame faster than Time wastes life;

So thou prevent'st his scythe and crooked knife.

Explanation:

The sonnet is a fourteen-line poem written in iambic pentameter. One of the most famous sonnet writers is William Shakespeare, who introduced his own type of sonnet that consists of three quatrains (four-line stanzas) and a couplet, and has the following rhyme scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GG. These sonnets are known as Shakespearean sonnets, English sonnets, or Elizabethan sonnets.

The underlined section consists of four lines, which makes it a quatrain.

A couplet consists of two lines, an iamb is a metrical foot used in poetry, while the pentameter is a line that consists of five metrical feet.

hello,

your answer is a) the metaphor suggests that the poetic themes are serious and dark.

collins is comparing the poem to a dark room. he is suggesting that the poems theme is serious and wants you to understand it. you don't need to understand the poet in order to understand the poem. you also don't need to move around while reading it. he is simply saying the poem has a dark and serious theme.
