Sonnet Xlviii: Cupid, I Hate Thee Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDDDDEFEFGG| Cupid I hate thee which I'd have thee know | A |
| A naked starveling ever may'st thou be | B |
| Poor rogue go pawn thy fascia and thy bow | C |
| For some few rags wherewith to cover thee | B |
| Or if thou'lt not thy archery forbear | D |
| To some base rustic do thyself prefer | D |
| And when corn's sown or grown into the ear | D |
| Practise thy quiver and turn crow keeper | D |
| Or being blind as fittest for the trade | E |
| Go hire thyself some bungling harper's boy | F |
| They that are blind are often minstrels made | E |
| So may'st thou live to thy fair mother's joy | F |
| That whilst with Mars she holdeth her old way | G |
| Thou her blind son may'st sit by them and play | G |
