Sonnet 077: Thy Glass Will Show Thee How Thy Beauties Wear Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Thy glass will show thee how thy beauties wear | A |
| Thy dial how thy precious minutes waste | B |
| These vacant leaves thy mind's imprint will bear | A |
| And of this book this learning mayst thou taste | B |
| The wrinkles which thy glass will truly show | C |
| Of mouth egrave d graves will give thee memory | D |
| Thou by thy dial's shady stealth mayst know | C |
| Time's thievish progress to eternity | D |
| Look what thy memory cannot contain | E |
| Commit to these waste blanks and thou shalt find | F |
| Those children nursed delivered from thy brain | E |
| To take a new acquaintance of thy mind | F |
| These offices so oft as thou wilt look | G |
| Shall profit thee and much enrich thy book | G |
