    2. Assonance: Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds in the same line, such as the sound of /i/ in “Am urged by your propinquity to find” and the sound of /o/ in “To bear your body’s weight upon my breast.”

    3. Consonance: Consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds in the same line, such as the sound of /n/ and /z/ in “By all the needs and notions of my kind” and the sound of /f/ and /s/ in “Your person fair, and feel a certain zest.”

    4. Enjambment: It means to roll over one verse to the next without a pause.

    The poet’s sexual sentiments and passions are expressed in the sonnet. She does, however, acknowledge that as a woman, she is compelled to experience and act upon these feelings while she is near her partner. When she controls herself and says that it appears that her blood is fighting against her cerebral capacity, she even senses the weight of his body against her breast and is almost about to have an orgasmic realization. She claims that even though she still has feelings for him, she does not believe that they will be speaking in the future only because of her libido. This is insufficient justification to continue with love and friendship.
