This sonnet ties in greatly with sonnet number one. The speaker
asks the boy what’s going to happen forty years from now when you’re all wrinkled
and showing signs of aging; where is your beauty; where has it gone? The speaker
tells the boy that when he has no child to show where his beauty has gone, that
it went to waste by not letting his beauty live on. I think that if I was in
the position of the boy and was the recipient of this poem that I would think
deeply about what I had thought before and what the speaker was trying to tell
me. My outtake on this subject would be greatly changed because I would want
something beautiful to show off of what was once mine. I think that once the
boy realizes that he will not forever be beautiful that he will change his mind
about having kids.
