Sonnet Xiii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFECGHGHII| O that you were yourself but love you are | A |
| No longer yours than you yourself here live | B |
| Against this coming end you should prepare | C |
| And your sweet semblance to some other give | D |
| So should that beauty which you hold in lease | E |
| Find no determination then you were | F |
| Yourself again after yourself's decease | E |
| When your sweet issue your sweet form should bear | C |
| Who lets so fair a house fall to decay | G |
| Which husbandry in honour might uphold | H |
| Against the stormy gusts of winter's day | G |
| And barren rage of death's eternal cold | H |
| O none but unthrifts Dear my love you know | I |
| You had a father let your son say so | I |
William Shakespeare
