Read the excerpt from "sonnet 29.” like to the lark at break of day arising from sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate; for thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings that then i scorn to change my state with kings. the figurative language in these lines convey the theme that being in love makes a person feel like royalty. is not as joyful as being royalty. brings a person the greatest joy. can cause a person to feel confused.
