Sonnet 108: What's In The Brain That Ink May Character Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGHHWhat's in the brain that ink may character | A |
Which hath not figured to thee my true spirit | B |
What's new to speak what now to register | A |
That may express my love or thy dear merit | B |
Nothing sweet boy but yet like prayers divine | C |
I must each day say o'er the very same | D |
Counting no old thing old mdash thou mine I thine mdash | E |
Even as when first I hallowed thy fair name | D |
So that eternal love in love's fresh case | F |
Weighs not the dust and injury of age | G |
Nor gives to necessary wrinkles place | F |
But makes antiquity for aye his page | G |
Finding the first conceit of love there bred | H |
Where time and outward form would show it dead | H |
