Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFECGHGHIIO that you were your self but love you are | A |
No longer yours than you your self here live | B |
Against this coming end you should prepare | C |
And your sweet semblance to some other give | D |
So should that beauty which you hold in lease | E |
Find no determination then you were | F |
Yourself again after yourself's decease | E |
When your sweet issue your sweet form should bear | C |
Who lets so fair a house fall to decay | G |
Which husbandry in honour might uphold | H |
Against the stormy gusts of winter's day | G |
And barren rage of death's eternal cold | H |
O none but unthrifts Dear my love you know | I |
You had a father let your son say so | I |
William Shakespeare
