The metaphor of words as servants is apt and well developed. There's a definite turn at the ninth line, and the final couplet is perfect to wrap it all up. Iambic pentameter is correct.
The sonnets are all wonderfully written. To pick the best is very difficult, but I have chosen this one because of the language used. Truly English as a sonnet should be in my mind.
The best.
Exceptional use of language. Hilarious twist. The Bard would approve!!
