Sonnet Lv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEEFEFGGNot marble nor the gilded monuments | A |
Of princes shall outlive this powerful rhyme | B |
But you shall shine more bright in these contents | C |
Than unswept stone besmear'd with sluttish time | B |
When wasteful war shall statues overturn | D |
And broils root out the work of masonry | E |
Nor Mars his sword nor war's quick fire shall burn | D |
The living record of your memory | E |
'Gainst death and all oblivious enmity | E |
Shall you pace forth your praise shall still find room | F |
Even in the eyes of all posterity | E |
That wear this world out to the ending doom | F |
So till the judgment that yourself arise | G |
You live in this and dwell in lover's eyes | G |
