“When my love swears that she is made of truth‚” is a perfect example. Shakespeare employs the traditional rhyme scheme of the English sonnet‚ the poem is made up of three quatrains and a rhyming couplet‚ and iambic pentameter is the predominant meter.

both of these poems speak about death and morality‚ they do so in very different ways. The manner of speak differs in these poems as well as their rhythm‚ meter‚ and structure.
