Title

Poems: Written by Wil. Shake-speare. Gent. (Flattery)

Description

“Selfe flattery of her beautie”: Benson’s headings sometimes imply that the poem’s object of desire is female, when generally scholars assume that the bulk of the sonnets are addressed to a male beloved. Here Benson combines sonnets 115-117 under such a header.
