Sonnet Xi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBADEDEDE| And therefore if to love can be desert | A |
| I am not all unworthy Cheeks as pale | B |
| As these you see and trembling knees that fail | B |
| To bear the burden of a heavy heart | C |
| This weary minstrel life that once was girt | A |
| To climb Aornus and can scarce avail | B |
| To pipe now 'gainst the valley nightingale | B |
| A melancholy music why advert | A |
| To these things O Beloved it is plain | D |
| I am not of thy worth nor for thy place | E |
| And yet because I love thee I obtain | D |
| From that same love this vindicating grace | E |
| To live on still in love and yet in vain | D |
| To bless thee yet renounce thee to thy face | E |
