Sonnet 3

This was a pretty hard poem to understand but this was what I made of Sonnet 3. The poem starts out by the narrator telling the man in the poem that he needs to have a kid soon and some mother will not ever have a child because of him. The woman would think who would be so selfish to not want to have a child and not have his name live on for a little while longer. Who would not want to have someone carry on their name? The narrator then says how happy that his mother was when she had him and that she was proud of him and would want him to experience the same events in his life. Have a baby and start a legacy now when you are young and in your best health. You do not want to die without a family to support you or you will not be remembered.
