In this poem, Donne talks to the Sun, telling it what a fool it is. In that period of time, the Sun was considered as God, and talking to God is the center of what Metaphysics is. The sun is considered a conscious object and has the wanting-to=know personality of a person. Also, love as the speaker puts it no season knows, nor climate,/Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time. Finally, Donne says that the speakers love affair is so important to the universe that kings and princes simply copy it, like the riches of spices, that the world is literally contained within their bedroom.

In this poem, Johne Donne brings up three notable paradoxes. The first one is old fool, which is strange because aged people are usually considered wise. Another paradox is Unruly sun which is a paradox because the sun is one of the most predictable objects in a persons life. The last paradox Donne brings up is If her eyes have not blinded thin, which does not make sense because eyes see, and can not blind other eyes.
