Sonnets: Idea X Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| To nothing fitter can I thee compare | A |
| Than to the son of some rich penny father | B |
| Who having now brought on his end with care | A |
| Leaves to his son all he had heaped together | B |
| This new rich novice lavish of his chest | C |
| To one man gives doth on another spend | D |
| Then here he riots yet amongst the rest | C |
| Haps to lend some to one true honest friend | D |
| Thy gifts thou in obscurity dost waste | E |
| False friends thy kindness born but to deceive thee | F |
| Thy love that is on the unworthy placed | E |
| Time hath thy beauty which with age will leave thee | F |
| Only that little which to me was lent | G |
| I give thee back when all the rest is spent | G |
