What is the primary purpose of the couplet in this
sonnet?
Where art thou, Muse, that thou forget'st so long
To speak of that which gives thee all thy might?
Spend'st thou thy fury on some worthless song,
Darkening thy power to lend base subjects light?
Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem
In gentle numbers time so idly spent;
Sing to the ear that doth thy lays esteem
And gives thy pen both skill and argument.
Rise, restive Muse, my love's sweet face survey,
If Time have any wrinkle graven there;
If any, be a satire to decay,
And make Time's spoils despised every where.
Give my love fame faster than Time wastes life;
So thou prevent'st his scythe and crooked knife.
- "Sonnet 100,

<span>Brendan:</span> Hey, Riley
Riley: Hey, Brendan. I need to talk to you.
Brendan: OK. What’s going on?
Riley: I asked you if I could get the $30
that you owe me and you said that you didn’t have it. But I saw you in the
store last week buying expensive clothes.
Brendan: Well last week was my cousin’s
birthday and I needed something to wear. My mom gave me money to get something.
I asked for $30 and she wasn’t able to give it to me this week because she
needed to pay the bills and groceries but she told me she’ll give it to me
soon. That’s why I didn’t have when you asked. I’m still trying to get it
though.
Riley: I understand, Brendan. I just needed
it so that I can go to the mall, but I can always get it from my mom. You can
give it to me whenever you can, it’s no rush. Thanks for letting me know.
Brendan: Thanks for understanding Riley.
