Sonnets From The Portuguese Xi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBADEDEDEAnd 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 Belov d 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 |
