Read Shakespeare's "Sonnet 19.” Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion's paws,
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws,
And burn the long-liv'd phoenix, in her blood;
Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleets,
And do whate'er thou wilt, swift-footed Time,
To the wide world and all her fading sweets;
But I forbid thee one most heinous crime:
O! carve not with thy hours my love's fair brow,
Nor draw no lines there with thine antique pen;
Him in thy course untainted do allow
For beauty's pattern to succeeding men.
Yet, do thy worst old Time: despite thy wrong,
My love shall in my verse ever live young.

Which features make this an example of a Shakespearean sonnet? Select three options.

the abab, cdcd, efef, gg rhyme scheme
the groupings of two stressed syllables
the widespread use of iambic pentameter
the use of three quatrains followed by a couplet
