Sonnet Xxxvii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFGHII| As a decrepit father takes delight | A |
| To see his active child do deeds of youth | B |
| So I made lame by fortune's dearest spite | A |
| Take all my comfort of thy worth and truth | B |
| For whether beauty birth or wealth or wit | C |
| Or any of these all or all or more | D |
| Entitled in thy parts do crowned sit | C |
| I make my love engrafted to this store | D |
| So then I am not lame poor nor despised | E |
| Whilst that this shadow doth such substance give | F |
| That I in thy abundance am sufficed | G |
| And by a part of all thy glory live | H |
| Look what is best that best I wish in thee | I |
| This wish I have then ten times happy me | I |
William Shakespeare
