Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFGHHWhere art thou Muse that thou forget'st so long | A |
To speak of that which gives thee all thy might | B |
Spend'st thou thy fury on some worthless song | A |
Darkening thy power to lend base subjects light | B |
Return forgetful Muse and straight redeem | C |
In gentle numbers time so idly spent | D |
Sing to the ear that doth thy lays esteem | C |
And gives thy pen both skill and argument | E |
Rise resty Muse my love's sweet face survey | F |
If time have any wrinkle graven there | G |
If any be a satire to decay | F |
And make time's spoils despis egrave d everywhere | G |
Give my love fame faster than Time wastes life | H |
So thou prevent'st his scythe and crooked knife | H |
