- Song
- Conceit=love is like a child
- Children are selfish and you don't get any praise if you do something good to them, in fact you just get a small rest from the wailing -"
- Love always demands more and is never satisfied- "never satisfied with having"
- Playing on the ideas of cupid baby causing mischief with love
- Cynical interpretation of love
- Warns others to stay clear of love completely
- "Trust not one word"
- She has obviously been hurt, but speaks in a controlled fashion which indicates giving advice
- Warns others to stay clear of love completely
- Endless folly
- Always lead down the same pointless route
- Folly= foolishness...love doesn't know what is valuable
- "What he promiseth he breaketh" = children lie
- Craving= very powerful emotion, often for something you can never have - love ought to appreciate what it has
- She only asked for love to be satisfied. Satisfied= compromised/mildly happy
- Vow=dedicated and important. His vows are false
- Will enjoy winding you up to let you go.
- Lots of conflicting language shows her battle through love and we sympathise
- Triumph and glory show a winner and a loser at opposite ends of the spectrum
- Rhyme to the poem adds to the idea of a child's nursery rhyme
- Nursery rhymes often seem nice on the surface but have a truly horrible meaning once dissected
- Chant like nature to poem suggests it is a warning
- Feathers
- Go which ever way the wind does and are not firm or subsantial
- Yet, still beautiful which suggests deep down she still does long for love
- Go which ever way the wind does and are not firm or subsantial
- Wolves
- Hunters...got and get their prey in a calculated manor and then destroy it
- Conceit=love is like a child
