Sonnet Viii: There's Nothing Grieves Me Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFDD| There's nothing grieves me but that Age should haste | A |
| That in my days I may not see thee old | B |
| That where those two clear sparkling eyes are plac'd | A |
| Only two loop holes then I might behold | B |
| That lovely arched ivory polish'd brow | C |
| Defac'd with wrinkles that I might but see | D |
| Thy dainty hair so curl'd and crisped now | C |
| Like grizzled moss upon some aged tree | D |
| Thy cheek now flush with roses sunk and lean | E |
| Thy lips with age as any wafer thin | F |
| Thy pearly teeth out of thy head so clean | E |
| That when thou feed'st thy nose shall touch thy chin | F |
| These lines that now thou scorn'st which should delight thee | D |
| Then would I make thee read but to despite thee | D |
