Title

The title of the sonnet is the first line. It belongs to a sequence of poems known as the Holy Sonnets.

Paraphrase

Theme

Attitude / Tone

Shifts

Causes of death, and that it is going to come one day, and then death itself will be no longer. People say that death is mighty and scary but it's not. It's the slave to man's actions. After we die, we go to heaven and death will end.

The sonnet is making death seem not so scary. It is a total role-reversal, and we assume that death doesn't know what to make of it. He says that death will be pleasurable, like sleep and rest.

The writer started providing evidence proving that death has no reason to be proud.

It starts off with the speaker speaking confidently of how death isn't as dreadful as people think it is. Towards the resolution the speaker gives off a victorious air as he states that death is temporary just a means to the after life.

Connotation

The author often used sleep as a metaphor for death.
