Sonnet Lxv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Since brass nor stone nor earth nor boundless sea | A |
| But sad mortality o'er sways their power | B |
| How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea | A |
| Whose action is no stronger than a flower | B |
| O how shall summer's honey breath hold out | C |
| Against the wreckful siege of battering days | D |
| When rocks impregnable are not so stout | C |
| Nor gates of steel so strong but Time decays | D |
| O fearful meditation where alack | E |
| Shall Time's best jewel from Time's chest lie hid | F |
| Or what strong hand can hold his swift foot back | E |
| Or who his spoil of beauty can forbid | F |
| O none unless this miracle have might | G |
| That in black ink my love may still shine bright | G |
