Sonnets Lx: Like As The Waves Make Towards The Pebbl'd Shor Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEGHHLike as the waves make towards the pebbl'd shore | A |
So do our minutes hasten to their end | B |
Each changing place with that which goes before | A |
In sequent toil all forwards do contend | B |
Nativity once in the main of light | C |
Crawls to maturity wherewith being crown'd | D |
Crooked eclipses 'gainst his glory fight | C |
And Time that gave doth now his gift confound | D |
Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth | E |
And delves the parallels in beauty's brow | F |
Feeds on the rarities of nature's truth | E |
And nothing stands but for his scythe to mow | G |
And yet to times in hope my verse shall stand | H |
Praising thy worth despite his cruel hand | H |
William Shakespeare
