Sonnet 47 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCACECFCC| In pride of wit when high desire of fame | A |
| Gaue life and courage to my labouring pen | B |
| And first the sound and vertue of my name | A |
| Won grace and credit in the eares of men | B |
| With those the thronged Theaters that presse | C |
| I in the circuite for the Lawrell stroue | D |
| Where the full praise I freely must confesse | C |
| In heate of blood a modest minde might moue | A |
| With showts and daps at euerie little pawse | C |
| When the prowd round on euerie side hath rung | E |
| Sadly I sit vnmou'd with the applawse | C |
| As though to me it nothing did belong | F |
| No publique glorie vainely I pursue | C |
| The praise I striue is to eternize you | C |
