The Shakespearian Sonnet
  • LX
  • Like as the waves make towards the pebbled
    shore, A
  • So do our minutes hasten to their end, B
  • Each changing place with that which goes
    before A
  • In sequent toil all forwards do contend. B
  • Nativity, once in the main of light, C
  • Crawls to maturity, wherewith, being crowned, D
  • Crooked eclipses 'gainst his glory fight C
  • And Time that gave, doth now his gift confound.
    D
  • Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth, E
  • And delves the parallels in beauty's brow, F
  • Feeds on the rarities of natures truth, E
  • And nothing stands but for his scythe to mow
    F
  • And yet, to times, in hope, my verse shall stand,
    G
  • Praising thy worth, despite his cruel hand. G
