SONNET-1 and SONNET-2 by William Shakespeare
Shakespeare's first collection of 154 sonnets were first published in 1609 by Thomas Thorpe. The majority of his sonnets are typically written in iambic pentameter and follow the rhyme scheme of ABAB CDCD EFEF GG. Shakespearean sonnets consist of three quartrains (four-line stanzas) and a rhymed couplet. Procreation is a common theme in Shakespeare's sonnets from 1 to 17 and are often referred to as 'Procreation Sonnets. These sonnets focus on a beautiful young man having children to pass on his lovely genes to a new generation. Time, Immortality, Procreation and selfishness are the major themes of these sonnets. In these sonnets, Shakespeare suggests that if the fair youth does not have children, it would be selfish, as it would deprive the world of its beauty. Instead of hoarding his loveliness, the young man should share it with future generations.
