The XXX is by whom?
Sonnet 4
to offer but not able to care for himself or reserve his own money. One literary piece sums this up as the ``idea of miser versus money-lender,''. This is questioning whether or not he should loan money. Should he be a lender or should he keep from giving his money away, coming off as a miser. In quatrain 3, the speaker is trying to persuade his male friend to have children because he says that not doing so would be a waste of the man's beauty. The speaker says that there is no reason why his friend should remain alone and let his beauty die off with him. Joseph Pequigney said that Shakespeare's sonnets have ``erotic attachment and sexual involvement with the fair young man with whom all of sonnets 1-126 are concerned''. Sonnet 4 clearly is a part of this group and does indeed have some references that can be taken as emotional descriptions. The couplet suggests that the young man has valuable attraction that is not being used properly or appreciated.
