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, restive 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. —“Sonnet 100,” William Shakespeare Which statements accurately describe the sonnet’s rhyme scheme and its effects?

Explanation:

We can say two words rhyme when their final sounds are the same. For example: say - play; crash - dash.

To find the rhyme scheme in a poem, we must look at the last word of each line. The first last word to appear in this sonnet is "long". We will call it A. Any other words that sound like "long" will also be called A. The second last word to appear is "might". Since it does not sound like "long", we will call it B. This is what we will keep on doing with all last words and the letters of the alphabet.

With that in mind, this is what we have in Sonnet 100:

long A

might B

song A

light B

redeem C

spent D

esteem C

argument D

survey E

there F

decay E

where F

life G

knife G

Thus, the rhyme scheme is ABAB CDCD EFEF GG.

When the lines of a poem rhyme, just like the lines above do, the poem acquires certain musicality. There is a cadence, a rhythm that is marked by the rhymes, just like what happens to songs we normally listen to.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
