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. In total, he wrote 154 sonnets using the form which we now refer to as the Shakespearean sonnet. It consists of three quatrains and a couplet, its rhyme scheme is<em> abab cdcd efef gg</em>, and the lines are written in a meter called the iambic pentameter.

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