Content:   Encouragement for the subject to father children.

• “Is it because you would leave a distressed widow if you died when married?”
• Turns the previous suggestions of selfishness being the reason for the subject’s refusal to marry into the flattering suggestion of the subject doing so as an act of compassion.
• This is a w sonnet with extensive use of the letter w to emphasise widow and wife as the female/woman focal points of the sonnet.
• It also has a thread of inverted w words running through it, i.e. m, all of which relate to the male subject, so alluding to the opposite gender of the subject to a prospective wife but also the marital state opposite to what the subject ought to be in.

• “If you died without being married then it would be worse as the whole world will wail you.”
• The subject being issueless causes a prospective wife to be makeless, without the required husband: inertia causes no creativity.
• w and m usage continues.

• “The whole world would be your widow if you were not married as you belong to no-one in particular and because you would have left no heir. But if you were married then at least your wife would have your children to remind her of you and be a remaining part of you.”
• w and m usage continues.

• “See how the world enjoys a person who is blessed with a quality using and propagating it.”
• Introduces to the subject a global obligation to father children instead of confining the use of his beauty to himself.
• Unusual rhyme of the same word: enjoys it with destroys it.
• w usage continues.

• “Anyone who does this can not have love in their heart.”
• Very critical conclusion.
• w usage diminishes whilst the m usage increases in conclusion.
• The it rhyme of Q3 is repeated in the couplet within sits and commits.
