Sonnet Xviii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCCBCBDD| THe rolling wheele that runneth often round | A |
| The hardest steele in tract of time doth teare | B |
| and drizling drops that often doe redound | A |
| the firmest flint doth in continuance weare | B |
| Yet cannot I with many a dropping teare | B |
| and long intreaty soften her hard hart | C |
| that she will once vouchsafe my plaint to heare | B |
| or looke with pitty on my payneful smart | C |
| But when I pleade she bids me play my part | C |
| and when I weep she sayes teares are but water | B |
| and when I sigh she sayes I know the art | C |
| and when I waile she turnes hir selfe to laughter | B |
| So doe I weepe and wayle and pleade in vaine | D |
| whiles she as steele and flint doth still remayne | D |
