Celebrates the beauty of a young man and urges him to marry so as to propagate and preserve that beauty. ＊Sonnet 18 to 126: The subsequent long sequence focuses on (probably) the same ideal young man, developing as a dominant motif the transience and destructive power of time, countered only by the force of love and friendship and the permanence of poetry. (homosexual /platonic love ) ＊Sonnet 127 to 154: Focus on the so-called Dark Lady as a tempting but degrading object of desire. Some sonnets (like 144) intimate a love triangle involving the speaker, the male friend, and the woman; others take note of a rival poet (sometimes identified as George Chapman or Christopher Marlowe).

April 18, 1593 Registration of Venus and Adonis Poem
•
Venus and Adonis, Shakespeare's narrative poem in six-line stanzas, was published by Richard Field (1561 1624). The poem was dedicated to Shakespeare's patron, Henry Wriothesley, Third Earl of Southampton (1573-1624). This dedication refers to the author's "unpolisht lines" and contains the typically fawning language of a commoner addressing a nobleman in the hope of obtaining, or retaining, their patronage in exchange for poems dedicated to the recipient.
