The idea
Renaissance love poems reason. They propose, object, concede and conclude, which is why unit nine could read Sonnet twenty-nine as a case. Approaching one as an outpouring of feeling misses that its feeling is organised as a proof.
In practice
Feeling organised as proof.
Where people slip
These poems argue.
