Abstract: In terms of the whole project “Translation of the Renaissance Sonnet as a Comparative Problem”, the work done in June-December 2018 presents a detailed study of one of the most important (along with metaphorical and reflection) aspects that ensure the untranslatability of the Shakespeare's sonnet, which represents the most important cultural characteristic of the era - wittiness / sharp mindedness. This difficulty was faced by the Russian translators who were far from fully satisfied. Examples are from Philip Sidney's sonnets, but mostly from the Shakespeare collection. Among the theoretical problems of poetics solved in this text is the problem of the parodicity of the tendency that has received its name in the history of literature - antipetrarchism. The noncomical function of the game with the Petrarch convention demonstrates wittiness in action, playing an evolutionary role in the history of the sonnet form and in the formation of the modern mentality.
