Sonnets: Idea Xliii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Why should your fair eyes with such sov'reign grace | A |
| Disperse their rays on every vulgar spirit | B |
| Whilst I in darkness in the self same place | A |
| Get not one glance to recompense my merit | B |
| So doth the plowman gaze the wand'ring star | C |
| And only rest contented with the light | D |
| That never learned what constellations are | C |
| Beyond the bent of his unknowing sight | D |
| O why should beauty custom to obey | E |
| To their gross sense apply herself so ill | F |
| Would God I were as ignorant as they | E |
| When I am made unhappy by my skill | F |
| Only compelled on this poor good to boast | G |
| Heavens are not kind to them that know them most | G |
