The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The sonnets were first published in 1633, two years after Donne's death.
- They are written predominantly in the style and form prescribed by Renaissance Italian poet Petrarch in which the sonnet consisted of two quatrains and a sestet.
- However, several rhythmic and structural patterns as well as the inclusion of couplets are elements influenced by the sonnet form developed by English poet and playwright William Shakespeare.
