Sonnet Xxvii: Is Not Love Here Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGH| Is not Love here as 'tis in other climes | A |
| And differeth it as do the several nations | B |
| Or hath it lost the virtue with the times | A |
| Or in this island altereth with the fashions | B |
| Or have our passions lesser power than theirs | C |
| Who had less art them lively to express | D |
| Is Nature grown less powerful in their heirs | C |
| Or in our fathers did she more transgress | D |
| I am sure my sighs come from a heart as true | E |
| As any man's that memory can boast | F |
| And my respects and services to you | E |
| Equal with his that loves his mistress most | F |
| Or nature must be partial to my cause | G |
| Or only you do violate her laws | H |
