A Shakespearean, or English, sonnet consists of 14 lines, each line containing ten syllables and written in iambic pentameter, in which a pattern of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable is repeated five times. The rhyme scheme in a Shakespearean sonnet is a-b-a-b, c-d-c-d, e-f-e-f, g-g; the last two lines are a rhyming couplet.
That is all you need to know.
But if thou live remembered not to be,
Die single and thine image dies with thee.
Be not self-willed for thou art much too fair,
To be death's conquest and make worms thine heir.
Ah but those tears are pearl which thy love sheds,
And they are rich, and ransom all ill deeds.
For thee, against my self I'll vow debate,
For I must ne'er love him whom thou dost hate.
And their gross painting might be better used,
Where cheeks need blood, in thee it is abused.
She carved thee for her seal, and meant thereby,
Thou shouldst print more, not let that copy die.
O learn to read what silent love hath writ,
To hear with eyes belongs to love's fine wit.
But flowers distilled though they with winter meet,
Leese but their show, their substance still lives sweet.
