The Sonnets C - Where Art Thou Muse That Thou Forget'st So Long Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFGHH| Where art thou Muse that thou forget'st so long | A |
| To speak of that which gives thee all thy might | B |
| Spend'st thou thy fury on some worthless song | A |
| Darkening thy power to lend base subjects light | B |
| Return forgetful Muse and straight redeem | C |
| In gentle numbers time so idly spent | D |
| Sing to the ear that doth thy lays esteem | C |
| And gives thy pen both skill and argument | E |
| Rise resty Muse my love's sweet face survey | F |
| If Time have any wrinkle graven there | G |
| If any be a satire to decay | F |
| And make time's spoils despised every where | G |
| Give my love fame faster than Time wastes life | H |
| So thou prevent'st his scythe and crooked knife | H |
