In "Sonnet 75" by Edmund Spenser, we can see this literary device being used throughout the poem. This sonnet is about a person who has just lost his loved one. His loved one had died, we don't know how but we know that she isn't alive and well. This is the reason that these two loved ones are apart and thus his love is unattainable.

This poem was written to immortalize his loved one as he saw her. In the first part of the poem, he states,

"One day I wrote her name upon the strand,

But came the waves and washed it away;

Again I wrote it with a second hand,

But came the tide, and made my pains his prey."(Sonnet 75, Line 1-4).

This shows how he really felt about

Senec and Plato call me from thy lore,

To perfaict welth my wit for to endever.

"Not so," quod I, "let baser things devise

"Farewell Love and all thy laws for ever,

And in me clayme no more authoritie;

In the last part of the poem, he writes why he has written the poem. He says,

With idill yeuth goo use thy propertie

In blynde error when I did persever,

Me lusteth no lenger rotten boughs to clymbe.

For I myself shall like to this decay,
