We are presented with a libertine speaker talking of many lovers. He suggests that, though he has spoken about the pain of love, it is only ‘Love’s pleasures’ that he cares about. As such, he has ‘betrayed’ ‘a thousand beauties’. He claims to have been a callous and deceiving lover, telling ‘the fair’ about the ‘wounds and smart’ they long to hear of, then ‘laughing’ and leaving. The poem is written in three elegant septets. Notice the iambic tetrameter and consider how important form might be to the theme of this particular kind of love and betrayal.

This speaker may not be entirely honest. The final stanza begins with ‘Alone’. Is there any sense of regret here? The speaker claims to be ‘Without the hell’ of love, yet in the same line we find reference to the ‘heaven of joy’. He  may even also sacrificed his joy with his promiscuous love.

Can someone please help me with grammar and sound more professional?
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

When I said hello, they seemed pretty confused. One of them gave me this weird looking drink, and as the good person I am, I accepted it and drank it. The next thing I know, I'm on a color changing dance floor.

I was busting moves I didn't know I even had. Later, this strange alien invited me to see through the window of the main deck. I saw uranus, and it wasn't pretty. I also saw the impressive sight of planet earth.
