Sonnet V Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| All were too little for the merchant's hand | A |
| And yet my bravery bigger than his book | B |
| But when this hot account was coldly scanned | A |
| I thought high time about me for to look | B |
| With heavenly cheer I cast my head aback | C |
| To see the fountain of my furious race | D |
| Compared my loss my living and my lack | C |
| In equal balance with my jolly grace | D |
| And saw expenses grating on the ground | E |
| Like lumps of lead to press my purse full oft | F |
| When light reward and recompense were found | E |
| Fleeting like feathers in the wind aloft | F |
| These thus compared I left the Court at large | G |
| For why the gains doth seldom quit the charge | G |
