The Sonnets Civ - To Me, Fair Friend, You Never Can Be Old Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFFF| To me fair friend you never can be old | A |
| For as you were when first your eye I ey'd | B |
| Such seems your beauty still Three winters cold | A |
| Have from the forests shook three summers' pride | B |
| Three beauteous springs to yellow autumn turn'd | C |
| In process of the seasons have I seen | D |
| Three April perfumes in three hot Junes burn'd | C |
| Since first I saw you fresh which yet are green | D |
| Ah yet doth beauty like a dial hand | E |
| Steal from his figure and no pace perceiv'd | F |
| So your sweet hue which methinks still doth stand | E |
| Hath motion and mine eye may be deceiv'd | F |
| For fear of which hear this thou age unbred | F |
| Ere you were born was beauty's summer dead | F |
