Sonnets From The Portuguese Xvi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCEFD| And yet because thou overcomest so | A |
| Because thou art more noble and like a king | B |
| Thou canst prevail against my fears and fling | B |
| Thy purple round me till my heart shall grow | A |
| Too close against thine heart henceforth to know | A |
| How it shook when alone Why conquering | B |
| May prove as lordly and complete a thing | B |
| In lifting upward as in crushing low | A |
| And as a vanquished soldier yields his sword | C |
| To one who lifts him from the bloody earth | D |
| Even so Belov d I at last record | C |
| Here ends my strife If thou invite me forth | E |
| I rise above abasement at the word | F |
| Make thy love larger to enlarge my worth | D |
