Sonnet Xl Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCCDCDDD| MArk when she smiles with amiable cheare | A |
| And tell me whereto can ye lyken it | B |
| when on each eyelid sweetly doe appeare | A |
| an hundred Graces as in shade to sit | B |
| Lykest it seemeth in my simple wit | B |
| vnto the fayre sunshine in somers day | C |
| that when a dreadfull storme away is flit | B |
| thrugh the broad world doth spred his goodly ray | C |
| At sight whereof each bird that sits on spray | C |
| and euery beast that to his den was fled | D |
| comes forth afresh out of their late dismay | C |
| and to the light lift vp theyr drouping hed | D |
| So my storme beaten hart likewise is cheared | D |
| with that sunshine when cloudy looks are cleared | D |
