Sonnet Xliv: Whilst Thus My Pen Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFGHA| Whilst thus my pen strives to eternize thee | A |
| Age rules my lines with wrinkles in my face | B |
| Where in the map of all my misery | A |
| Is modell'd out the world of my disgrace | B |
| Whilst in despite of tyrannizing times | C |
| Medea like I make thee young again | D |
| Proudly thou scorn'st my world outwearing rhymes | C |
| And murtherest virtue with thy coy disdain | E |
| And though in youth my youth untimely perish | F |
| To keep thee from oblivion and the grave | G |
| Ensuing ages yet my rhymes shall cherish | F |
| When I entomb'd my better part shall save | G |
| And though this earthly body fade and die | H |
| My name shall mount upon eternity | A |
