Sonnet Cxxiii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFHIINo 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 wondering 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 |
