Sonnet Xxxviii: Sitting Alone, Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBCBBDEFFEGH| Sitting alone Love bids me go and write | A |
| Reason plucks back commanding me to stay | B |
| Boasting that she doth still direct the way | B |
| Or else Love were unable to endite | B |
| Love growing angry vexed at the spleen | C |
| And scorning Reason's maimed argument | B |
| Straight taxeth Reason wanting to invent | B |
| Where she with Love conversing hath not been | D |
| Reason reproached with this coy disdain | E |
| Despiteth Love and laugheth at her folly | F |
| And Love condemning Reason's reason wholly | F |
| Thought it in weight too light by many'a grain | E |
| Reason put back doth out of sight remove | G |
| And Love alone picks reason out of love | H |
