Sonnet 51 is the second half of a pair. These two poems create one of the most unique meta moments in all of Shakespeare. In these two sonnets, Section 4's turn, the Bard is metaphorically, literally, and allegorically telling the reader that he's abandoning the 4442 format. More importantly, he's telling us why (even if this is just the narrator being emotional), and it's that the Metasonnet formula is slowing him down as a poet.
