Sonnet 63: Against My Love Shall Be As I Am Now Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABCBCDEFEAA| Against my love shall be as I am now | A |
| With Time's injurious hand crushed and o'erworn | A |
| When hours have drained his blood and filled his brow | A |
| With lines and wrinkles when his youthful morn | A |
| Hath travelled on to age's steepy night | B |
| And all those beauties whereof now he's king | C |
| Are vanishing or vanished out of sight | B |
| Stealing away the treasure of his spring | C |
| For such a time do I now fortify | D |
| Against confounding age's cruel knife | E |
| That he shall never cut from memory | F |
| My sweet love's beauty though my lover's life | E |
| His beauty shall in these black lines be seen | A |
| And they shall live and he in them still green | A |
