Sonnets: Idea Xxix To The Senses Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFGHH| When conquering love did first my heart assail | A |
| Unto mine aid I summoned every sense | B |
| Doubting if that proud tyrant should prevail | A |
| My heart should suffer for mine eyes' offence | B |
| But he with beauty first corrupted sight | C |
| My hearing bribed with her tongue's harmony | D |
| My taste by her sweet lips drawn with delight | C |
| My smelling won with her breath's spicery | E |
| But when my touching came to play his part | F |
| The king of senses greater than the rest | G |
| He yields love up the keys unto my heart | F |
| And tells the others how they should be blest | G |
| And thus by those of whom I hoped for aid | H |
| To cruel love my soul was first betrayed | H |
