Sonnet 19 is one of the more than a hundred sonnets published by William Shakespeare in 1609.
It is considered a typical Shakespearean or English sonnet because of:
-The use of three quatrains (a stanza or poem consisting of four lines) followed by a couple (two successive lines that rhyme and have the same metre). Here is an example of a rhyming couple from Sonnet 18
<em>So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
</em>
<em>So long lives this and this gives life to thee.</em>
-It follows the typical rhyme scheme: abab, cdcd, efef, gg
-The widespread use of iambic pentameter based on five pairs of metrically weak/strong syllabic positions. For example, "<em>But I forbid thee one more heinous crime"</em> (19.8).
