Sonnet Xiii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEEFEFFF| IN that proud port which her so goodly graceth | A |
| whiles her faire face she reares vp to the skie | B |
| and to the ground her eie lids low embaseth | A |
| most goodly temperature ye may descry | C |
| Myld humblesse mixt with awfull maiesty | D |
| for looking on the earth whence she was borne | E |
| her minde remembreth her mortalitie | D |
| what so is fayrest shall to earth returne | E |
| But that same lofty countenance seemes to scorne | E |
| base thing thinke how she to heauen may clime | F |
| treading downe earth as lothsome and forlorne | E |
| that hinders heauenly thoughts with drossy slime | F |
| Yet lowly still vouchsafe to looke on me | F |
| such lowlinesse shall make you lofty be | F |
