Sonnet Ix: As Other Men Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFGHH| As other men so I myself do muse | A |
| Why in this sort I wrest invention so | B |
| And why these giddy metaphors I use | C |
| Leaving the path the greater part do go | B |
| I will resolve you I am lunatic | D |
| And ever this in madmen you shall find | E |
| What they last thought of when the brain grew sick | D |
| In most distraction they keep that in mind | E |
| Thus talking idly in this bedlam fit | F |
| Reason and I you must conceive are twain | G |
| Tis nine years now since first I lost my wit | F |
| Bear with me then though troubled be my brain | G |
| With diet and correction men distraught | H |
| Not too far past may to their wits be brought | H |
