Where art thou, Muse, that thou forget'st so long
To speak of that which gives thee all thy might?
Spend'st thou thy fury on some worthless song,
Darkening thy power to lend base subjects light?

Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem
In gentle numbers time so idly spent;
Sing to the ear that doth thy lays esteem
And gives thy pen both skill and argument.

Rise, resty Muse, my love's sweet face survey,
If Time have any wrinkle graven there;
If any, be a satire to decay,
And make Time's spoils despised every where.

Give my love fame faster than Time wastes life;
So thou prevent'st his scythe and crooked knife.

Answer: 1. Three quatrains and one couplet.

3. abba, cddc, effe, gg rhyme scheme.

Explanation: Shakespearean sonnets typically consist of 14 lines with the abab cdcd efef gg rhyme scheme. This means that the first and third lines must rhyme, and the second and fourth lines must rhyme. In the next set of four lines, the same pattern is repeated with different rhymes. The poem ends with a rhyming couplet. And they often explore a theme or idea with a volta (shift in tone or argument) occurring between the third quatrain and the final couplet. The poem consists of three quatrains, which are four-line stanzas. Each quatrain explores a different aspect or idea.
