Holy Sonnet Xiv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEFDD| Batter my heart three person'd God for you | A |
| As yet but knock breathe shine and seek to mend | B |
| That I may rise and stand o'erthrow me and bend | B |
| Your force to break blow burn and make me new | A |
| I like an usurp'd town to'another due | A |
| Labor to'admit you but oh to no end | B |
| Reason your viceroy in me me should defend | B |
| But is captiv'd and proves weak or untrue | A |
| Yet dearly'I love you and would be lov'd fain | C |
| But am betroth'd unto your enemy | D |
| Divorce me 'untie or break that knot again | E |
| Take me to you imprison me for I | F |
| Except you'enthrall me never shall be free | D |
| Nor ever chaste except you ravish me | D |
