Question

Answer 1

Answer:

The speaker wants his muse to help him immortalize his love.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare wrote many of his poems in the form of a sonnet. The type of sonnet he used is now usually referred to as the Shakespearean sonnet. It consists of three quatrains and a couplet. The rhyme scheme is abab cdcd efef gg, and the meter the lines are written in is iambic pentameter.

In Sonnet 100, the speaker speaks to his muse, asking her to help him immortalize his love. He asks her to rise and return to him and help him. He wants to immortalize his love through poetry - something that will remain even after he passes. We can see this in the following line: Give my love fame faster than Time wastes life.
