Sonnet Xxix: When Conquering Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCBCDEDFGHGHIITo the Senses | A |
- | |
When conquering Love did first my Heart assail | B |
Unto mine aid I summon'd every Sense | C |
Doubting if that proud tyrant should prevail | B |
My Heart should suffer for mine Eyes' offence | C |
But he with Beauty first corrupted Sight | D |
My Hearing bribed with her tongue's harmony | E |
My Taste by her sweet lips drawn with delight | D |
My Smelling won with her breath's spicery | F |
But when my Touching came to play his part | G |
The King of Senses greater than the rest | H |
He yields Love up the keys unto my Heart | G |
And tells the other how they should be blest | H |
And thus by those of whom I hop'd for aid | I |
To cruel Love my Soul was first betray'd | I |
