Sonnets 71-74, are grouped together and they all talk about the poet's mortality. Here, the poet is going through his "old age" and knowing that he is the oldest, he expresses his love towards a young man. This focus in humanity, made artists, writers, and philosophers to be inquisitive about the world around them and they started to be more concerned about the human being. -Here is where the poet asks the young man to forget him because if not, his memories would cause him pain No longer mourn for me when I am dead Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell Give warning to the world that I am fled From this vile world with vilest worms to dwell: Nay, if you read this line, remember not The hand that writ it, for I love you so That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot, If thinking on me then should make you woe. O if, I say, you look upon this verse When I perhaps compounded am with clay, Do not so much as my poor name rehearse, But let your love even with my life decay, Lest the wise world should look into your moan And mock you with me after I am gone.
