Structure
Sonnet 48 is an English or Shakespearean sonnet, a type of sonnet that contains three quatrains followed by a final rhyming couplet. It follows the form's typical rhyme scheme, ABAB CDCD EFEF GG, and is written in iambic pentameter based on five pairs of metrically weak/strong syllabic positions per line. The second line exemplifies a regular iambic pentameter:
× / × / × /× / × / Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, (48.2)
- / = ictus, a metrically strong syllabic position. × = nonictus.
