Sonnet Xl Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCE| Oh yes they love through all this world of ours | A |
| I will not gainsay love called love forsooth | B |
| I have heard love talked in my early youth | B |
| And since not so long back but that the flowers | A |
| Then gathered smell still Mussulmans and Giaours | A |
| Throw kerchiefs at a smile and have no ruth | B |
| For any weeping Polypheme's white tooth | B |
| Slips on the nut if after frequent showers | A |
| The shell is over smooth and not so much | C |
| Will turn the thing called love aside to hate | D |
| Or else to oblivion But thou art not such | C |
| A lover my Beloved thou canst wait | D |
| Through sorrow and sickness to bring souls to touch | C |
| And think it soon when others cry ' Too late ' | E |
