This is the most important sequence so far. In these poems, the poet delineates a poetics. In their description of form, the poet discusses the idea that less is more in the expression of love. This has been consistent throughout the poems. Consistency is the strongest attribute of the collection, and at its core is this idea that describes the beloved and also the poetry: Fair, Kind, and True. Fair, meaning beautiful beyond all else; Kind, meaning in service of others; and true, meaning not duplicitous: these are the tenets of Shakespeare's poetry.
