Sonnet Xxix: When Conquering Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCBCDEDFGHGHII| To 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 |
