Sonnet Xi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABCBCDEDEFF| As fast as thou shalt wane so fast thou growest | A |
| In one of thine from that which thou departest | A |
| And that fresh blood which youngly thou bestowest | A |
| Thou mayst call thine when thou from youth convertest | A |
| Herein lives wisdom beauty and increase | B |
| Without this folly age and cold decay | C |
| If all were minded so the times should cease | B |
| And threescore year would make the world away | C |
| Let those whom Nature hath not made for store | D |
| Harsh featureless and rude barrenly perish | E |
| Look whom she best endow'd she gave the more | D |
| Which bounteous gift thou shouldst in bounty cherish | E |
| She carved thee for her seal and meant thereby | F |
| Thou shouldst print more not let that copy die | F |
