No longer mourn for me when I am dead

Then you shall hear the surly sullen bell


Give warning to the world that I am fled
From this vile world, with vilest worms to dwell:
Nay, if you read this line, remember not
The hand that writ it; for I love you so
That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot
If thinking on me then should make you woe.
O, if, I say, you look upon this verse
When I perhaps compounded am with clay,
Do not so much as my poor name rehearse.
But let your love even with my life decay,
Lest the wise world should look into your moan
And mock you with me after I am gone.

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.
