Sonnet Xxiii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EEF GHGWhat good is it to me that once you praised | A |
The golden splendour of my plaited hair | B |
Or that to two bright Suns you would compare | B |
The beauty of my eyes from which Love gazed | A |
- | |
And shot the cruel darts so expertly | C |
Where are you now tears that so quickly dried | D |
Or death which was to prove you would abide | D |
By oath of love and solemn loyalty | C |
- | |
Or did you seek from malice to delude | E |
Slavery by pretending servitude | E |
Forgive the thought this once my dearest one | F |
- | |
When grief and anger fiercely combine | G |
I know wherever you may have gone | H |
Your martyrdom is as harsh as mine | G |
