Sonnet 11 his name. An English sonnet is made up of fourteen lines grouped into three quatrains and an ending couplet, with the rhyme scheme "ABAB CDCD EFEF GG". Sonnet 11 exhibits this structure. The sonnet has four feminine endings (accepting the Quarto's contraction of "grow'st" and "bestow'st"). "Convertest" would have been pronounced as a perfect rhyme with the second line's "departest", a holdover from Medieval English. Carl D. Atkins notes "This is a sonnet of contrasts: feminine lines, regular lines; regular iambs, irregular line 10; no midline pauses, multiple midline pauses; waning, growth, beauty, harshness, life and death, beginning and end."
Sonnet 25 rhymes may have been intended to be trisyllabic: "belovèd" and "removèd", although other editors (like John Kerrigan) prefer the standard 2-syllable pronunciations. This sonnet, as originally printed, departs from the English sonnet's typical rhyme scheme, "abab cdcd efef gg". Lines 9 and 11 (the expected "e" lines) do not rhyme. These lines in the Quarto of 1609 read (with emphasis added): <poem>The painefull warrier famoſed for worth, Is from the booke of honour raſed quite,</poem> No other lines in "Shakespeare's Sonnets" fail to rhyme, and Shakespeare's typical sonnet structure demands that these lines should rhyme with each other.
