In this sonnet, the speaker is writing a poem. He is pleading to his lover to forsake him
when he dies. The poem is ironic, because by using this poem to tell his lover to forget
him, the lover will remember him, because he is reading the poem. This scene will
require a pen. It is required, because the speaker has to write the poem out on a piece
of paper. The pen/quill is made out of a pheasant feather. The ink used for the pen will
be black. The point of the pen is made out of golden-colored metal (like that of a
fountain pen). The feather is whiter near the point of the pen and steadily gets darker to
black as you get farther to the top of the feather. The stem of the pen is white and fragile
like an actual feather. The pen has the scent of the lover sprayed on it, as to add
significance to why this specific pen is being used.
