Step-by-step explanation:

Sonnet 30,’ also known as ‘When to the sessions of sweet silent thought,’ is number thirty of one hundred fifty-four that Shakespeare wrote over his lifetime. It is part of the Fair Youth sequence of sonnets (numbers one through one hundred twenty-six). In this particular poem, the speaker discusses the Fair Youth’s ability to raise his spirits even when he is at his most downtrodden.
