Sonnet Cxlvi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGHH| Poor soul the centre of my sinful earth | A |
| these rebel powers that thee array | B |
| Why dost thou pine within and suffer dearth | A |
| Painting thy outward walls so costly gay | B |
| Why so large cost having so short a lease | C |
| Dost thou upon thy fading mansion spend | D |
| Shall worms inheritors of this excess | E |
| Eat up thy charge is this thy body's end | D |
| Then soul live thou upon thy servant's loss | F |
| And let that pine to aggravate thy store | G |
| Buy terms divine in selling hours of dross | F |
| Within be fed without be rich no more | G |
| So shalt thou feed on Death that feeds on men | H |
| And Death once dead there's no more dying then | H |
