This sonnet is the beginning of a series of sonnets in which the speaker is trying to convince the subject to start a family. The speaker tells the young man over and over that he must reproduce so he can pass on his beauty to his children, and to preserve his good looks. He tells the young man to “feed your eyes with only the sight of yourself”. What he is trying to say is that the subject should has a right to be self consumed because of his extraordinary good looks.
