Sonet 12 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABCBDDEDEDD| To nothing fitter can I thee compare | A |
| Then to the sonne of some rich penyfather | A |
| Who hauing now brought on his end with care | A |
| Leaues to his son all he had heap'd together | A |
| This newe rich nouice lauish of his chest | B |
| To one man giues and on another spends | C |
| Then here he ryots yet amongst the rest | B |
| Haps to lend some to one true honest friend | D |
| Thy gifts thou in obscuritie doost wast | D |
| False friends thy kindnes borne but to deceiue thee | E |
| Thy loue that is on the unworthy plac'd | D |
| Time hath thy beauty which with age will leaue thee | E |
| Onely that little which to me was lent | D |
| I giue thee back when all the rest is spent | D |
