Naked in Death

speaker is dying and asks his audience to reflect upon their own lives in order to appreciate them more. Shakespeare employs simple metaphors to demonstrate that as death draws nearer, love increases. The sonnet’s first comparison is that of a tree that’s leaves are scarce because it is the winter time. The leaves fall and the tree appears naked and dead; its time of prospering is over. This tree is much like the dying man in that as his internal workings slow down, his outer appearance changes.
