Sonnet Number 87

The speaker is saying all these nice things about the boy,
but they are reasons for him not deserving the boy. I think the he speaker is
desperate in wanting the boy and therefore is saying he is not worthy and feels
bad for himself. I think the main reason he doesn’t feel deserving of the boy
is because the boy is from a family that has a great deal of money. In this
sonnet there are many things that single to that like all the financial words
the speaker uses. I also think that the speaker is looking for attention. Many
people who say that they aren’t good enough are looking for the person they are
speaking to, to contradict what they had said about themselves to feel better.
I think that the speaker is hoping that by saying he is not worthy; the boy’s
feelings for him will come out.
