Sonnet Xlv: Muses, Which Sadly Sit Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGHMuses 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 |
