Sonnet Lxiii: Truce, Gentle Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDFGHGHII| Truce gentle Love a parley now I crave | A |
| Methinks 'tis long since first these wars begun | B |
| Nor thou nor I the better yet can have | C |
| Bad is the match where neither party won | B |
| I offer free conditions of fair peace | D |
| My heart for hostage that it shall remain | E |
| Discharge our forces here let malice cease | D |
| So for my pledge thou give me pledge again | F |
| Or if no thing but death will serve thy turn | G |
| Still thirsting for subversion of my state | H |
| Do what thou canst rase massacre and burn | G |
| Let the world see the utmost of thy hate | H |
| I send defiance since if overthrown | I |
| Thou vanquishing the conquest is my own | I |
