Sonnet 123: No, Time, Thou Shalt Not Boast That I Do Change Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFHII| No Time thou shalt not boast that I do change | A |
| Thy pyramids built up with newer might | B |
| To me are nothing novel nothing strange | A |
| They are but dressings of a former sight | B |
| Our dates are brief and therefore we admire | C |
| What thou dost foist upon us that is old | D |
| And rather make them born to our desire | E |
| Than think that we before have heard them told | D |
| Thy registers and thee I both defy | F |
| Not wond'ring at the present nor the past | G |
| For thy records and what we see doth lie | F |
| Made more or less by thy continual haste | H |
| This I do vow and this shall ever be | I |
| I will be true despite thy scythe and thee | I |
