The Sonnets Lxviii - Thus Is His Cheek The Map Of Days Outworn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABCBCADADEE| Thus is his cheek the map of days outworn | A |
| When beauty lived and died as flowers do now | A |
| Before these bastard signs of fair were born | A |
| Or durst inhabit on a living brow | A |
| Before the golden tresses of the dead | B |
| The right of sepulchres were shorn away | C |
| To live a second life on second head | B |
| Ere beauty's dead fleece made another gay | C |
| In him those holy antique hours are seen | A |
| Without all ornament itself and true | D |
| Making no summer of another's green | A |
| Robbing no old to dress his beauty new | D |
| And him as for a map doth Nature store | E |
| To show false Art what beauty was of yore | E |
