Sonnet Lii: What? Dost Thou Mean Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFGHH

What Dost thou mean to cheat me of my heartA
To take all mine and give me none againB
Or have thine eyes such magic or that artA
That what they get they ever do retainC
Play not the tyrant but take some remorseD
Rebate thy spleen if but for pity's sakeE
Or cruel if thou canst not let us 'scourseD
And for one piece of thine my whole heart takeE
But what of pity do I speak to theeF
Whose breast is proof against complaint or prayerG
Or can I think what my reward shall beF
From that proud beauty which was my betrayerG
What talk I of a heart when thou hast noneH
Or if thou hast it is a flinty oneH
