Sonnet Lxxxiii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCCDCDEE

MY hungry eyes through greedy couetizeA
Still to behold the obiect of theyr payneB
with no contentment can themselues suffizeA
but hauing pine and hauing not complayneB
For lacking it they cannot lyfe sustayneB
and seeing it they gaze on it the moreC
in theyr amazement lyke Marcissus vayneB
whose eyes him staru'd so plenty makes me poreC
Yet are myne eyes so filled with the storeC
of that fayre sight that nothing else they brookeD
but loath the things which they did like beforeC
and can no more endure on them to lookeD
All this worlds glory seemeth vayne to meE
and all theyr shewes but shadowes sauing sheE
