The first two quatrains of this sonnet talk about a person who is slow to temptation, thus detached. This is why the speaker believes that the young man is more likely to inherit the gifts of heaven. The third quatrain encounters a shift to the speaker talking about the young man is unaware of his beauty, and believes his only job is to live and die. He also says that if the flower gives in to temptations, he will become “worse than weeds”.
