This sonnet has lines four and two rhyme, and they have lines five and seven rhyme with them. Its a very unique way to structure the rhymes. Rhyming “immortalize” (6) with “likewise” (8) and then again with “devise” (9), and “eternize” (11), links the two different parts together. The words “immortalized” and “likewise” are said by one speaker, the woman, while “devise” and “eternize” are said by the other speaker. The way these are rhymed together like this, because they are talking about their different views on immortality. She believes that him making them immortal is like making them superior and that he is doing this all in vain, he believes that he is doing a good thing trying to immortalize them. He thinks that they can and will be remembered through his poetry. This helps express the haughty tone especially since he does not realize that he is acting superior and vain. If he knew and realized that he was in fact, as she said, acting in vain, then this would not have as much of a haughty tone as it
