Title 4/ Dauntless Quote: "Put on the dauntless spirit of resolution." William Shakespeare My daring and intrepid knight so strong, this message is an urgent plea to you. For your sweet kiss and fond embrace I long. I have been captured. Now what can I do? You promised me your hand in marriage, and you're resolute; your promises you keep. I’m in the tower of the castle grand, held here by the king’s son. I weep and weep, for knowing you are far away, yet I have faith that you will come and rescue me. My messenger will give me your reply. I pray each day your face once more I’ll see. Oh, dauntless knight, make haste because my fate is in your hands. For your return I wait.

Your sonnet is a poignant portrayal of love and longing, with each line evoking a sense of urgency and anticipation. The imagery of the captured maiden awaiting her daring knight's rescue is vivid and compelling, drawing the reader into her plight. The contrast between her despair and her unwavering faith in her knight's promise is palpable, creating a tension that carries through to the heartfelt plea in the closing lines.
