Sonnet Xlv: Muses, Which Sadly Sit Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGH| Muses which sadly sit about my chair | A |
| Drown'd in the tears extorted by my lines | B |
| With heavy sighs whilst thus I break the air | A |
| Painting my passions in these sad designs | B |
| Since she disdains to bless my happy verse | C |
| The strong built trophies to her living fame | D |
| Ever henceforth my bosom be your hearse | C |
| Wherein the world shall now entomb her name | D |
| Enclose my music you poor senseless walls | E |
| Since she is deaf and will not hear my moans | F |
| Soften yourselves with every tear that falls | E |
| Whilst I like Orpheus sing to trees and stones | F |
| Which with my plaint seem yet with pity mov'd | G |
| Kinder than she whom I so long have lov'd | H |
