Sonnet Xlix: Thou Leaden Brain Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEFGHIHIJJ| Thou leaden brain which censur'st what I write | A |
| And say'st my lines be dull and do not move | B |
| I marvel not thou feel'st not my delight | A |
| Which never felt'st my fiery touch of love | C |
| But thou whose pen hath like a pack horse serv'd | D |
| Whose stomach unto gall hath turn'd thy food | E |
| Whose senses like poor prisoners hunger starv'd | F |
| Whose grief hath parch'd thy body dried thy blood | G |
| Thou which hast scorned life and hated death | H |
| And in a moment mad sober glad and sorry | I |
| Thou which hast bann'd thy thoughts and curs'd thy breath | H |
| With thousand plagues more than in Purgatory | I |
| Thou thus whose spirit Love in his fire refines | J |
| Come thou and read admire applaud my lines | J |
