Sonnet Lii: What? Dost Thou Mean Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFGHHWhat Dost thou mean to cheat me of my heart | A |
To take all mine and give me none again | B |
Or have thine eyes such magic or that art | A |
That what they get they ever do retain | C |
Play not the tyrant but take some remorse | D |
Rebate thy spleen if but for pity's sake | E |
Or cruel if thou canst not let us 'scourse | D |
And for one piece of thine my whole heart take | E |
But what of pity do I speak to thee | F |
Whose breast is proof against complaint or prayer | G |
Or can I think what my reward shall be | F |
From that proud beauty which was my betrayer | G |
What talk I of a heart when thou hast none | H |
Or if thou hast it is a flinty one | H |
