4. What metaphors in this sonnet compare the speaker's sadness to things having to do with the law? (Look for legal terms like summon, canceled, expense, grievances,
account, pay.)

Explanation:

In this sonnet, the speaker talks about the sorrow and grief that he feels when he considers all the people and things he has lost in his life. He cries when he remembers his good friends who have passed away, he weeps when he recalls lost loves that have come and gone, and he wails when he considers all the scenes he has witnessed that he can see no more. After this, he even grieves over losses he has already come to terms with and grieves them all over again, as though he never had actually grieved them. He uses a metaphor here, comparing this last kind of grieving to an "account" that he must "new pay as if not paid before"; in other words, he has already grieved (or "paid") and yet he feels as if he must grieve all over again (paying this "account" again, when he already feels he has paid).
