Sonnet 54: O, How Much More Doth Beauty Beauteous Seem Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEFEGHGHII| O how much more doth beauty beauteous seem | A |
| By that sweet ornament which truth doth give | B |
| The rose looks fair but fairer we it deem | A |
| For that sweet odour which doth in it live | C |
| The canker blooms have full as deep a dye | D |
| As the perfum egrave d tincture of the roses | E |
| Hang on such thorns and play as wantonly | F |
| When summer's breath their mask egrave d buds discloses | E |
| But for their virtue only is their show | G |
| They live unwooed and unrespected fade | H |
| Die to themselves Sweet roses do not so | G |
| Of their sweet deaths are sweetest odours made | H |
| And so of you beauteous and lovely youth | I |
| When that shall vade by verse distills your truth | I |
William Shakespeare
