The rhyme scheme here would be A,B,A,C,B,D,B,D,E,F,E,F,G,G. In his very first sonnet we can see how his ability to do so has rightly earned him the esteemed position of the status quo. Where most people can expel a thought that rhymes (one need only to think of nursery rhymes like “Mary had a little lamb”), William Shakespeare has done so with careful attention to the subject matter and the overall flow and thought of the poem. The Bard has shown that poem composition can be done in such a manner while still maintaining the integrity of the thought. A sonnet is composed of fourteen lines with a rhyming scheme.
William Shakespeare is known for 150 sonnets. It would therefore be a grave error for any literary scholar to overlook such works, especially those readers of the poetic arts.
Interestingly, when one associates the works of Shakespeare to that of the literary world, generally the connection is made to his plays of which there are 37.
His ability to capture both the humanistic nature of man as well as cause the mind the ascend into creative realms unknown has duly earned him the title of “The Bard”. William Shakespeare (1590-1613) is one if not the most recognized poets of all time.
