The Sonnets Xxxii - If Thou Survive My Well-contented Day Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| If thou survive my well contented day | A |
| When that churl Death my bones with dust shall cover | B |
| And shalt by fortune once more re survey | A |
| These poor rude lines of thy deceased lover | B |
| Compare them with the bett'ring of the time | C |
| And though they be outstripp'd by every pen | D |
| Reserve them for my love not for their rhyme | C |
| Exceeded by the height of happier men | D |
| O then vouchsafe me but this loving thought | E |
| 'Had my friend's Muse grown with this growing age | F |
| A dearer birth than this his love had brought | E |
| To march in ranks of better equipage | F |
| But since he died and poets better prove | G |
| Theirs for their style I'll read his for his love' | G |
