This poem is one of the four complete Shakespeare love poems written in a seven-line poem, written in royal rhyme, like another Shakespeare love poem, Lucrece of Lucrece. The rhyming royal rhyme scheme is [aba-bb-cc]. This full-length poem is 394 lines long and has 2,579 words. So if you haven't read it yet and don't have time to do so, check out the summary below.
This poem tells the story of a young maid who is saddened by her temptation by a persuasive, feminine young man. He eventually abandoned her and broke her heart. The story begins when she cries and weeps at the river. An old shepherd hears her and pities her, then comes to comfort her. He found that when she cried, she put the love mark into the river, and the old love letters [some written in blood] and jewelry were given to her by the same man. The shepherd noticed that although she looked embarrassed, she was still very young and must be beautiful before she entered this state.
She tells the story of her being an innocent and chaste young woman who is not easily tempted by red-blooded men. This young man has a reputation as a notorious erotic, and the young maid was very cautious from the start. In the end, his charm and popularity tempted her. Shakespeare continues to describe the many qualities of this young man. He is very handsome, his wisdom and charm, and the sparkle in his eyes. He has a "submissive tongue" that can "make the crying person laugh and laugh faster". He gave her a gift and fell in love with the token of the former lover, indicating how much her love, she accepted them, I almost believe that she loves her. Maybe he did this, the poem did not make it clear, but soon the young maid began to fall in love with this young man, even though she knew she was a erotic and liar.
In the end, the young man began to become unreal and deep inside, she knew this, but she was so in love that she was so shamed that she ignored it. The young man eventually left her to pursue other women, and now the young woman is sad and lonely.
Here Shakespeare explores two different themes of the nature of love, both of which are very dangerous. In this Shakespeare love poem, first of all, the power of love makes everyone feel blind. The young maid was a chaste and excellent young lady. She knew that the young man was a tempting tempter, but at the time she was blinded by love and deprived her of all the reasons.
Another theme is the cruelty of love, how this young woman was deceived and impolitely dumped by this man. Sometimes people care little about the feelings of others. This can also be interpreted as a subject of unpredictableness in a man's heart. In this poem, we are not sure if the man really likes the young maid, or if he is just using her, but some lines portray him. I especially like this very clever description, near the end of the poem "... although we depreciated this difference, but he poisoned me, and I still let him recover." This is One of my favorite words in the poem, it describes how the tempted young man's false tears deceive the young maid to fall in love with him, but her true tears give the young man strength and elevate his self. The use of the word poison has almost brought an evil edge to the motivations of young people. I like the description of the defects and qualities of each character in this poem. The description of the young maid caught the reader's pity. "Her hair is not loose or tied on the official platform... "She is pale and her cheeks are close together." This description makes her look very simple, almost Like she can be beautiful, but has no strength or energy to care about her appearance. We can all learn from the romantic writings of Shakespeare here.
In my opinion, this is one of the best Shakespeare love poems because it learns poetry with a simple theme based on the danger of love. Many of you may be able to tell the story of a young maid in this poem, but if you are looking for a clever description, this is one of the best poems.
