Sonnet Xliii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACCDCDEFEGEE| SHall I then silent be or shall I speake | A |
| And if I speake her wrath renew I shall | B |
| and if I silent be my hart will breake | A |
| or choked be with ouerflowing gall | C |
| What tyranny is this both my hart to thrall | C |
| and eke my toung with proud restraint to tie | D |
| that nether I may speake nor thinke at all | C |
| but like a stupid stock in silence die | D |
| Yet I my hart with silence secretly | E |
| will teach to speak and my iust cause to plead | F |
| and eke mine eies with meeke humility | E |
| loue learned letters to her eyes to read | G |
| Which her deep wit that true harts thought can spel | E |
| wil soone conceiue and learne to construe well | E |
