Sonnet 122: Thy Gift, Thy Tables, Are Within My Brain Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFBBThy gift thy tables are within my brain | A |
Full charactered with lasting memory | B |
Which shall above that idle rank remain | A |
Beyond all date even to eternity | B |
Or at the least so long as brain and heart | C |
Have faculty by nature to subsist | D |
Till each to razed oblivion yield his part | C |
Of thee thy record never can be missed | D |
That poor retention could not so much hold | E |
Nor need I tallies thy dear love to score | F |
Therefore to give them from me was I bold | E |
To trust those tables that receive thee more | F |
To keep an adjunct to remember thee | B |
Were to import forgetfulness in me | B |
William Shakespeare
