Title: "Blame Not My Lute"
From the title, I believe that the poem will be about a musician who does not play his instrument well and his neighbors have grown weary of hearing him play terribly.
Paraphrase:
Do not hold my lute responsible for the sound it makes.
The lute does not have an independent thought.
I control the lute. I dictate its tunes.
The words in my songs are strange.
However, my lute is not at fault for the messages my songs present.
My lute is forced to play the tunes I compose.
My songs are simple,
So to those who have been deceived,
My lute is not to blame.
My lute’s strings cannot refuse the tunes I wish to create.
Do not break the strings of my lute even if you are unhappy with the messages my songs deliver.
Go seek some other revenge!
I am answering you like this because I am returning your spite!
So, do not blame my lute for this.
Ill will creates ill will.
The source of the betrayal and deception should be shown.
My songs will reveal how honest you all are,
But it will not be the fault of my lute.
Blame yourselves!
All of you deserve to pay for your actions.
Amend your errors,
And then my lute will be in tune again.
Until then, the lute is in my command.
My lute is not liable for this.
Bye!
You all have broken my strings.
Yet, I have found new strings for my lute.
If this song embarrasses any of you,
My lute is not to blame.
Connotation:
Even though the poem is speaking of a musician and his instrument, I believe the poem is about a betrayed lover voicing his disappointment and frustration through his songs.
Attitude:
At first, the poet’s tone is sincere since he begins by explaining his sentiments. It then changes to assertive as the poet draws attention to the falseness of the audience. The poet then turns violent as he tells the audience to not break the strings of the lute. He also continuously uses the word "blame", which does not have a positive connotation. Throughout the poem, the poet speaks of betrayal and rejection. However, in the end, the poet rises and claims he has moved on from his horrible experience.
Shifts:
Shifts occur from the poet explaining his personal feelings to the audience about his lute to him being angered by the audience because of their betrayal and finally to him being content because he has repaired the damage.
Title:
Now, I understand that the title is literal. The poet does not want the audience to blame his lute, for he is in power of the instrument and if anything, he is to blame. If not him, the audience is to blame because the audience caused the lute to not be in tune. All are to be blamed, except for the lute.

Title: ''Blame Not My Lute''
My first thoughts of the title had been that the narrator happen to be a musician who enjoyed playing the lute but he will have made a mistake and he wants his audience to know that he is to blame for any mistake he has made.
Paraphrase:
Do not blame my lute for any sound it is making
But blame me, the lute has no control or voice in what it does,
It does what I control it to do and the way it pleases me.
The songs seem to express sentiments,
And has words that can be surprising.
Yet, my lute is not to blame for what I tell it to do.
I beg that you do not blame my lute,
The lute plays in the manner I control it.
The song may seen simple,
It will affect those who desired more,
But my lute is not to blame.
My lute is not capable to refuse what I wish it to play,
I command and my lute plays.
But do not let your anger break my strings,
It is not the lute's fault that you don't agree with my message.
Find another way to revenge me!
I sing to you in this manner because this is how I fell,
So do not blame my lute!
It will bring spite, as well as transformation,
Those who believe the flute brings betrayal will be revealed,
It is the your own fault and your fault's will be shown'
Yet, the lute is not to blame.
You must blame yourself,
Pay for the actions you have made!
Change your ways to return my lute to its original ways
The lute will continue to play in my command
Until everyone changes their ways,
My fingers will be in control,
Don't blame my lute!
I say goodbye to all,
Now that my strings are broken for your faults,
I am able to find new ones,
My song has embarrassed you all,
But again, blame not my lute!
Connotation:
At first, I had reasoned with the words believing that the poem revealed the fault of a man who used his instrument to express what he has done. Going deeper into the text, I then believe the poem was meant to persuade a woman that he lost through his faults.
Attitude:
When the poem first starts off, the narrator is expressing the truth, saying that it is not the lute's fault but in fact his because he is in control of it. It sounded to be more sentiment of resignation, where we can see in the lines he tries with great effort to win her back. Then the poet starts to become angered with the audience, blaming them for making faults and trying to break his lute. The tone started to get stressed at the end because he speaks directly to the audience of the issue and he knows by revealing his betrayal, they will know that he was refused.
Shifts:
At first, the narrator is explaining that its not the lute we must blame bit the one who plays the lute. Then it shifts to the poet being angry at the audience for their offense. The poet then learns to accept all the issues that he has been facing.
Title:
After understanding both the title and the poem, I learned that the title had been expressing the fault of the poet and how the audience must not blame the lute. In other words, he is of fault for his loss because he had been the one to blame and not the lute. The audience just needed to understand and accept that he is the one to blame.

Title:"The Canonization"
The word canonization's meaning is the act of the catholic church declaring a person is saint after the fact that they are dead. In my opinion this could be metaphorical in that the man knows that he has fallen, or died in sin, but people around him still call him a saint.
Paraphrase:
Be quiet, and let me do what I want to do,
If not you might as well insult my sickness,
or insult my age, or anything else I might have "ruined",
Better yet, get into a better mindset,
Get to a place where you can contemplate
The honor and grace of our Lord
Or his possessions, or his face
Think about what you are persecuting me of, and if it's really necessary for you to do so
And then you'll see your folly
What damage have I done in persisting in my love anyway?
Have my reliefs effected the economy?
Is there anyone who says my pain has effected them personally?
Have I effected the wellbeing of the community in total?
Has my anger
Added on to the injustices that are already going on in this world?
Maybe a lawyer
A man obsessed with argument would argue with me
But no matter what, me and her will love each other
It doesn't matter what you call us, because in our love we most likely are those things
You can say we're an annoyance to you
It shouldn't matter to you, because with our "sin" we are only "damaging" ourselves
But we don't see any harm in what we are.
You might say that it makes no sense for us to be together at all
But due to the fact that we are together proves that it does.
It is so obvious, but oblivious to you,
That we would be the same, which still proves,
How utterly non convincable you are.
If this love is actually dangerous, then let us die by it,
And if it is so unholy for us to be together that we aren't given a proper burial,
Then we will become legends to you, proving our love lasts forever.
And if you don't think our love is worthy of your legends,
Then we'll just have to put pretty little lies in sonnets that will go down in legends;
And such, if you decide to put our names down in history as malicious,
It will still be greater than what any of you have experienced.
And by these false statements, once again we will prove,
That our love will last forever.
So tell us: the people who "worship" love
And try to keep it sacred for yourselves;
The people that generate anger out of our love;
Who made you think that our love was so unfit
that it would be dirty in your eyes
(That person has lied to you, and manipulates you,
That they made you think you had perfect love)
All of us want to know
What exactly then is your idea of love?
Connotation:
The speaker of this poem is trying to tell someone, who thinks that they know exactly what is the best for them, and who tries to denounce them for their love, that he is blinded by his belief (rather it be personal, religious, or community based).
Attitude:
Throughout this poem the speaker seems to be quite "as-a-matter-of-fact"y. Like in the second stanza where the author says "who's injured by my love?/ hat merchan'ts ships have my sighs drowned?..." He's trying to prove to the person he's speaking to that he has great fault in his logic. He is also quite sarcastic in his speaking. He's basically saying "Oh yeah sure, your idea of love is SSSSSOOOOOOO great and our's is SoOoOoOo horrible".
Shifts:
There are not many shifts in this poem. The author starts out by telling the objecter that he should have better things to worry about being (most likely in my opinion) a man of faith. He then tries to reason with the man saying "who have we even effected with our love?" He then goes to say in the next stanza that they can say whatever they want but it still wouldn't stop them from loving each other. And finally the speaker says that just by their insults and the persistence of their love that their love must be real.
Title:
After analyzing this poem, I realize my primal idea of the poem is greatly misunderstood. The canonization doesn't come from people giving the man approval, rather, it comes from the disapproval of the people around him. Using the idea of canonization is basically a slap to the face for the people they are arguing to. Instead of something religious becoming great, it is implied that something that is secular would be the new thing to uphold.

TP-CAST:
Title: Elegy 19:To His Mistress Going to Bed
I think the poem will be about a man’s mistress & her maybe leaving or dying because it says going to bed or that can just be literal and mean they are having sex in a bed. It says To... so that may mean it is a letter TO his mistress, that is going to bed... idk! ah i want to read.
Paraphrase:
Come to me, all this waiting and lust is killing me.
Take off that belt..
Take off your teasing breastplate..
It would make anyone look
Undress yourself & tell me it is time to go to bed.
Take off your gown, and reveal your beauty
Take off your shoes and tiptoe over to this bed
Like an angel, you bring heavenly pleasure
But an angel with an evil spirit, you are, that brings lust
This is my territory, my land. Your flesh is mine.
I am so lucky to have discovered you.
To be with you, is to free myself
FINALLY you’re fully naked; mission accomplished.
Every joy is thanks to you.
You women use your bodies against men,
you know we stand no chance
Like you would when giving birth, show me yourself
What’s better to cover your body with than my own?
Connotation:
I don’t think there is a deeper meaning in the poem. I mean, it is pretty straightforward. This guy totally wants his mistress and just describes the stages of lust he experiences as she is undressing herself.
Attitude: The poet’s attitude is passionate and lascivious. He is openly lustful but is very articulate and descriptive.
Shifts: At the beginning the poet describes his lust as a suffering and withering pain. But then he forgets the “labor” and just feels pure lust and anxiousness. And at last, when he succeeds, he is triumphant. But not in a cocky way, he is still enchanted by the women and her body.
Title: Now I see that the title is very literal. It is about his mistress going to bed with him. There isn’t really much to interpret.
But I do have to say that I like the poet’s straightforwardness. He doesn’t hold back, it is refreshing.

Title: "To His Coy Mistress."
Off the title alone I believe this poem will about a male with a mistress. There is clearly an outside subject looking in therefore the poem may have been written with spite!
Paraphrase:
If there was enough time and space
If this action was to crime
We would spend time together and think about our relationship
To spend time with my lover through the day
Hanging by the Indian Ganges
You could find me by the tide
If humber was to wine I would
make sure to love you even before the flood
you have the right to refusal
I would forward time till the conversion of the jews
My love for you should grow
Rapidly , yet at a pace
If we had time
your beautiful eyes on my forehead
where I can adore your breast
But more time to rest
some time for at least every part,
Lady, you deserve it all
I would not belittle the love you deserve
But my mind always makes me over think
* no idea
Look at all the younder in front of us
which is endless
and looks will fade by that time
in your grave you will not receive the same attention
My loving complements, will not be spoken by the dead worms
if you keep your virginity
and what you valued will no longer matter
and all the lust I felt will be gone
The grave is a great place to be alone
but not receive any affection
now , while your young
you are still beautiful
and while that is also joined with your soul
and rises through your pores from excitement!
Now let's play a game,
and pretend to be birds,
but let's make this interesting and enjoyable
time is taking us by
let us put our strength in this
and combine our love,
And as the pain you feel builds up tears
through the pains of life
although we cant control many things
we can try to enjoy the time we have
Connotation: I believe the poem is talking about sex and the how a man is trying to talk a woman into sleeping with him. She refuses with the defense that they hardly even know each other. The man seems to know quite a lot of information on this woman however.
Attitude: While reading this poem i instantly thought about the morals lacking between both the man and woman who are discussing sex. He is clearly being rejected and there is obviously no intention of her having sex with him which really irritated me at first.
Shifts: After I continued reading it was revealed that she was in fact still a virgin, as stated in line 28" that long preserved virginity, and your quaint honor turn to dust;..." It seems as if there was a relationship between the two as the poem advances.
Title: I know understand the man behind the poem is talking about the woman being shy and refusing his proposition. She rejects his offer of sex for rightful reasons. She obviously has morals and is refusing to move to the next level in her relationship.

Title: Whoso List To Hunt by Sir Thomas Wyatt
i think this title is telling the reader that he is looking for someone
Paraphrase:
i know of a deer to hunt
but i dont want to anymore
the work is tiring
and i am the farthest behind
but i cant stop thinking,
of the deer, as she runs ahead
i follow
but she is to fast all i get is the wind
i put him out of doubt he who list her to hunt
it was all in vain
for she is engraved
which means she belongs to another
engraved on her is "touch me not fopr i belong to caesar,
i am also am wild and untame"
Connotation:
wyatt wrote this poem to tell of his grief of loving a girl who he can not have
Attitude:
the tone was sorrowful as it expresses the feelings of not being able to be with who wyatt loves
Shifts:
i thought wyatt in the begining to have been getting tired but also still a part of him that is hopeful that he can be with his beloved, but then towards the end he acknowledges that it is of no use to even try
Title:
again, the title is just a statement of wyatts will to be with his beloved
