Thanks for tuning into another episode of the Dialogic Podcast, the Changing the Conversation series.
If you want to follow along, you can find the sonnets for free online at the Folger Shakespeare Library's online edition.
In this sequence, Shakespeare begins with a call for moderation. He suggests that greed spoils love, and that it is possible to regenerate your powers by fasting. Waiting makes the moment of communion more powerful.
He then goes on to describe himself as a slave to the beloved. The poet's self abnegation reaches a new nadir as he identifies as a slave helpless to make decisions for himself under the rule of his beloved.
He also makes an argument that his beloved should be his master and should do whatever it is that pleases him, even it that means going somewhere else.
