Sonnet (women Have Loved Before As I Love Now) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFGHH

Women have loved before as I love nowA
At least in lively chronicles of the past mdashB
Of Irish waters by a Cornish prowA
Or Trojan waters by a Spartan mastC
Much to their cost invaded mdash here and thereD
Hunting the amorous line skimming the restE
I find some woman bearing as I bearD
Love like a burning city in the breastE
I think however that of all aliveF
I only in such utter ancient wayG
Do suffer love in me alone surviveF
The unregenerate passions of a dayG
When treacherous queens with death upon the treadH
Heedless and willful took their knights to bedH
