Apart from that, another dissimilarity between the works is what images they choose to explore. For instance, as discussed, Donne uses scientific and mathematical metaphors. On the other hand, Wroth’s poem involves comparing the speaker to elements of nature. Moore explains in her article concerning Wroth’s sonnet sequence that Pamphilia explores, “the issues of self-knowledge” (Moore 109). This is what Pamphilia is doing in the volta. The final couplet, “If trees and leaves, for absence, mourners be/ No marvel that I grieve, who like want see” (Wroth 14-15) explains that after all her grieving in the earlier quatrains she is led to finally accept her situation. The couplet is very reflective in that it explains the idea that if nature can grieve the absence of its leaves, then the speaker may also grieve her
