Sonnets: Idea Lx Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEFAGAGCE| Define my weal and tell the joys of heaven | A |
| Express my woes and show the pains of hell | B |
| Declare what fate unlucky stars have given | A |
| And ask a world upon my life to dwell | B |
| Make known the faith that fortune could no move | C |
| Compare my worth with others' base desert | D |
| Let virtue be the touchstone of my love | E |
| So may the heavens read wonders in my heart | F |
| Behold the clouds which have eclipsed my sun | A |
| And view the crosses which my course do let | G |
| Tell me if ever since the world begun | A |
| So fair a rising had so foul a set | G |
| And see if time if he would strive to prove | C |
| Can show a second to so pure a love | E |
