In this piece, the artist is offering practically protective guidance to the reasonable youth. He doesn't seem, by all accounts, to be keen on the reasonable youth impractically himself in this sonnet however is empowering a hetero association. Notwithstanding, the distraction with the reasonable youth and his life decisions before long turns out to be very overpowering and fanatical. The piece takes an inconspicuously unique tack from Sonnet 1 (where he says that if the reasonable youth doesn't raise it would be childish of him and the world would think twice about it). In this work, the writer proposes that the reasonable youth would feel disgrace and would actually think twice about it himself †maybe the speaker does as such to engage the narcissistic side of the reasonable youth, highlighted in Sonnet 1. Maybe a narcissist would not mind what the world thinks, however would mind what he may feel himself in later life?
