Sonnet (i Would That Love Were Subject Unto Law!) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CBBDBD| I would that love were subject unto law | A |
| Upon his person I should lay distraint | B |
| And force him thus to answer my complaint | B |
| Which I in well considered counts should draw | A |
| Not free to fly he needs must seek some flaw | A |
| To mar my pleading though his heart were faint | B |
| Declare his counsel to me and acquaint | B |
| Himself with maxim precedent and saw | A |
| - | |
| Ah I could win him with authorities | C |
| If suing thus in such a sober court | B |
| Could read him many an ancient rhym'd report | B |
| Of such sad cases tears would fill his eyes | D |
| And he confess a judgment or resort | B |
| To some well pleasing terms of compromise | D |
