Sonet 9 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCDEFEAALoue 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 |
