Sonnet Xxxviii: Sitting Alone, Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBCBBDEFFEGHSitting 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 |
