Matching the bolded phrases to their meanings in the context of this excerpt from William Shakespeare's Sonnet 2.

besiege - surround, overwhelm

deep trenches - deep pits, wrinkles

proud livery - charms

tatter'd weed - destroyed and wasted

The central theme of Shakespeare's Sonnet 2 is procreating being young for beauty's sake before it is too late. This is an important theme because average life could be thirty-five years. So it is important to have children before reaching forty years of age, because beauty can be overwhelmed, full of deep wrinkles, destroyed and wasted.

<h3>What do you mean by Central idea?</h3>

Clues that support the definition of Muse as an "inspiration for writing poetry” may include spendest thou thy fury on some worthless song, the ear that doth thy lays esteem, and gives thy pen both skill and argument.

Therefore, the speaker thinks that his muse is forgetful and lazy and wastes a lot of time is a statement that describes the central idea of the given sonnet.
