The Sonnets Xvii - Who Will Believe My Verse In Time To Come Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEGHIHJKK| Who will believe my verse in time to come | A |
| If it were fill'd with your most high deserts | B |
| Though yet heaven knows it is but as a tomb | C |
| Which hides your life and shows not half your parts | D |
| If I could write the beauty of your eyes | E |
| And in fresh numbers number all your graces | F |
| The age to come would say 'This poet lies | E |
| Such heavenly touches ne'er touch'd earthly faces ' | G |
| So should my papers yellow'd with their age | H |
| Be scorn'd like old men of less truth than tongue | I |
| And your true rights be term'd a poet's rage | H |
| And stretched metre of an antique song | J |
| But were some child of yours alive that time | K |
| You should live twice in it and in my rhyme | K |
William Shakespeare
