En tanke på “Sonnet 55”

  1. a) Back in the days, there were no cameras, no photos, etc they wanted to be remembered. I’d imagine being rich in the 16-century there isn’t alot to spend money on either.

    b) Because in the 1600 there was much prostitution, alot of diseases but most of all alot of evil.
