Sonnet I Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDDEDEFF| Love though for this you riddle me with darts | A |
| And drag me at your chariot till I die | B |
| Oh heavy prince Oh panderer of hearts | A |
| Yet hear me tell how in their throats they lie | B |
| Who shout you mighty thick about my hair | C |
| Day in day out your ominous arrows purr | D |
| Who still am free unto no querulous care | C |
| A fool and in no temple worshiper | D |
| I that have bared me to your quiver's fire | D |
| Lifted my face into its puny rain | E |
| Do wreathe you Impotent to Evoke Desire | D |
| As you are Powerless to Elicit Pain | E |
| Now will the god for blasphemy so brave | F |
| Punish me surely with the shaft I crave | F |
