Sonnets: Idea X Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGGTo 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 |
