Sonnets: Idea Lii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFGHH| What dost thou mean to cheat me of my heart | A |
| To take all mine and give me none again | B |
| Or have thine eyes such magic or that art | A |
| That what they get they ever do retain | C |
| Play not the tyrant but take some remorse | D |
| Rebate thy spleen if but for pity's sake | E |
| Or cruel if thou can'st not let us scorse | D |
| And for one piece of thine my whole heart take | E |
| But what of pity do I speak to thee | F |
| Whose breast is proof against complaint or prayer | G |
| Or can I think what my reward shall be | F |
| From that proud beauty which was my betrayer | G |
| What talk I of a heart when thou hast none | H |
| Or if thou hast it is a flinty one | H |
