Sonnet 8 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDCCCCDD| There's nothing grieues me but that Age should haste | A |
| That in my dayes I may not see thee old | B |
| That where those two deare sparkling Eyes are plac'd | A |
| Onely two Loope holes then I might behold | B |
| That louely arched yuorie pollish'd Brow | C |
| Defac'd with Wrinkles that I might but see | D |
| Thy daintie Hayre so curl'd and crisped now | C |
| Like grizzled Mosse vpon some aged Tree | D |
| Thy Cheeke now flush with Roses sunke and leane | C |
| Thy Lips with age as any Wafer thinne | C |
| Thy Pearly teeth out of thy head so cleane | C |
| That when thou feed'st thy Nose shall touch thy Chinne | C |
| These Lines that now thou scorn'st which should delight thee | D |
| Then would I make thee read but to despight thee | D |
