With A Copy Of Shakespeare's Sonnets On Leaving College Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFGFHH| As one of some fat tillage dispossessed | A |
| Weighing the yield of these four faded years | B |
| If any ask what fruit seems loveliest | A |
| What lasting gold among the garnered ears | B |
| Ah then I'll say what hours I had of thine | C |
| Therein I reaped Time's richest revenue | D |
| Read in thy text the sense of David's line | C |
| Through thee achieved the love that Shakespeare knew | D |
| Take then his book laden with mine own love | E |
| As flowers made sweeter by deep drunken rain | F |
| That when years sunder and between us move | G |
| Wide waters and less kindly bonds constrain | F |
| Thou may'st turn here dear boy and reading see | H |
| Some part of what thy friend once felt for thee | H |
