 The independently rhymed couplet introduces yet another shift in the poem; the speaker reiterates how his beautiful beloved will be eternally preserved as long as men can breathe and see, and as long as the poem exists the beloved does, too.The term sonnet sequence might be rephrased as series or cycle of sonnets.Sonnets become more significant when they are read in the order that the poet places them, as opposed to reading them at random.
