Sonnet I: From Fairest Creatures We Desire Increase Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGHGCC| From fairest creatures we desire increase | A |
| That thereby beauty's rose might never die | B |
| But as the riper should by time decease | A |
| His tender heir might bear his memory | C |
| But thou contracted to thine own bright eyes | D |
| Feed'st thy light'st flame with self substantial fuel | E |
| Making a famine where abundance lies | D |
| Thyself thy foe to thy sweet self too cruel | E |
| Thou that art now the world's fresh ornament | F |
| And only herald to the gaudy spring | G |
| Within thine own bud buriest thy content | H |
| And tender churl makest waste in niggarding | G |
| Pity the world or else this glutton be | C |
| To eat the world's due by the grave and thee | C |
William Shakespeare
