Sonnet Xii: Indeed This Very Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDBBDECECEC| Indeed this very love which is my boast | A |
| And which when rising up from breast to brow | B |
| Doth crown me with ruby large enow | C |
| To draw men's eyes and prove the inner cost | D |
| This love even all my worth to the uttermost | D |
| I should not love withal unless that thou | B |
| Hadst set me an example shown me how | B |
| When first thine earnest eyes with mine were crossed | D |
| And love called love And thus I cannot speak | E |
| Of love even as good thing of my own | C |
| Thy soul hath snatched up mine all faint and weak | E |
| And placed it by thee on a golden throne | C |
| And that I love O soul we must be meek | E |
| Is by thee only whom I love alone | C |
