Sonet 9 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCDEFEAA| Loue once would daunce within my Mistres eye | A |
| And wanting musique fitting for the place | B |
| Swore that I should the Instrument supply | A |
| And sodainly presents me with her face | B |
| Straightwayes my pulse playes liuely in my vaines | B |
| My panting breath doth keepe a meaner time | C |
| My quau'ring artiers be the Tenours Straynes | B |
| My trembling sinewes serue the Counterchime | C |
| My hollow sighs the deepest base doe beare | D |
| True diapazon in distincted sound | E |
| My panting hart the treble makes the ayre | F |
| And descants finely on the musiques ground | E |
| Thus like a Lute or Violl did I lye | A |
| Whilst the proud slaue daunc'd galliards in her eye | A |
