In the Shakespeare poem i believe that love is describe both in good and bad. I believe he is trying to say that loves is not a game. He mention that love alters the emotion of the ones whom are in loved. In his error upon me proved (13) i believe that he says this because he thinks that love can be tricky hurtful in some cases.
In the Millay poem i believe the author is talking about a heart break. I have forgotten , and what arms have lain (2). This line shows us that their once was a time that she once was in love, However her lover has left she doesn't remember laying in his arms. I sense some form of sadness almost life she has lost hope to love again.
Yes, Shakespeare's speaker defines what love is and isn't. Yet when the speaker says "If this be error and upon me proved,/ I never writ, nor no man ever loved", what error is he referring to (Shakespeare 13-14)? Good observation. Think about how the tree further illustrate the fact that the speaker's lover has left.
