The Sonnets Cxv - Those Lines That I Before Have Writ Do Lie Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGHHII| Those lines that I before have writ do lie | A |
| Even those that said I could not love you dearer | B |
| Yet then my judgment knew no reason why | A |
| My most full flame should afterwards burn clearer | B |
| But reckoning Time whose million'd accidents | C |
| Creep in 'twixt vows and change decrees of kings | D |
| Tan sacred beauty blunt the sharp'st intents | E |
| Divert strong minds to the course of altering things | D |
| Alas why fearing of Time's tyranny | F |
| Might I not then say 'Now I love you best ' | G |
| When I was certain o'er incertainty | H |
| Crowning the present doubting of the rest | H |
| Love is a babe then might I not say so | I |
| To give full growth to that which still doth grow | I |
William Shakespeare
