	Venus And Adonis
		The poem allows Venus and Adonis a certain power or authority over the forces that lie within the powers of Nature, but Shakespeare's creation of this sexual narrative as a depiction of erotic desire as a tragic event leads the characters to inevitable misfortune, and a complete loss of control over their circumstances.
		Venus seems to have inspired control over her own body, and wondrously metamorphosizes her form to suit her purpose, making it heavy enough to need trees to support it, then giving the violets she lies on the strength of trees (152).
		Venus collapses with the boy on top of her, and follows what ought to be the sexual climax of Venus' attempts to lure Adonis into her bed, but all Venus gets from the encounter is frustration: `all is imaginary she doth prove' (597).

		Now she unweaves the web that she hath wrought; Adonis lives, and Death is not to blame; It was not she that call'd him, all-to naught: Now she adds honours to his hateful name; She clepes him king of graves and grave for kings, Imperious supreme of all mortal things.
		This solemn sympathy poor Venus noteth; Over one shoulder doth she hang her head; Dumbly she passions, franticly she doteth; She thinks he could not die, he is not dead: Her voice is stopt, her joints forget to bow; Her eyes are mad that they have wept til now.
		She bows her head, the new-sprung flower to smell, Comparing it to her Adonis' breath, And says, within her bosom it shall dwell, Since he himself is reft from her by death: She crops the stalk, and in the breach appears Green dropping sap, which she compares to tears.

		Imagery: The poem is rich in metaphors describing the passion of Venus, the allure of the countryside, and the grisly aftermath of the boar's encounter with Adonis and the hunting dogs.
		Venus unhorses him, so that they lie side by side, and she strokes his cheek.
		Whatever words of protest he musters “she murders with a kiss.” When he breathes, “She feedeth on the steam as on a prey.” She woos him further—on and on, relentlessly—with honey-coated words, all the while grasping his hand.

		In 1593 Shakespeare dedicated the long narrative poem Venus and Adonis to Henry Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton and Baron of Titchfield (1573-1624) who was just 19 years old at the time.
		Venus and Adonis was wildly popular (it was reprinted more than any other of Shakespeare's works up to 1640 - indeed, in Shakespeare's life time he was probably best known for this poem and his play Titus Andronicus - another runaway hit - more than for any other works).
		The "graver labour" followed the following year with the publication of The Rape of Lucrece, whose dedication, again to Wriothesley, is much warmer:
