Sonnet Xlviii: Cupid, I Hate Thee Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDDDDEFEFGGCupid 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 |
