Sonnet Xxxiii: Whilst Yet Mine Eyes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCBCDEDEFGFHIITo Imagination | A |
- | |
Whilst yet mine Eyes do surfeit with delight | B |
My woeful Heart imprison'd in my breast | C |
Wisheth to be transformed to my sight | B |
That it like these by looking might be blest | C |
But whilst my Eyes thus greedily do gaze | D |
Finding their objects over soon depart | E |
These now the other's happiness do praise | D |
Wishing themselves that they had been my Heart | E |
That Eyes were Heart or that the Heart were Eyes | F |
As covetous the other's use to have | G |
But finding Nature their request denies | F |
This to each other mutually they crave | H |
That since the one cannot the other be | I |
That Eyes could think or that my Heart could see | I |
