Sonnets: Idea Xxviii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDAEAEFF| To such as say thy love I overprize | A |
| And do not stick to term my praises folly | B |
| Against these folks that think themselves so wise | A |
| I thus oppose my reason's forces wholly | B |
| Though I give more than well affords my state | C |
| In which expense the most suppose me vain | D |
| Which yields them nothing at the easiest rate | C |
| Yet at this price returns me treble gain | D |
| They value not unskilful how to use | A |
| And I give much because I gain thereby | E |
| I that thus take or they that thus refuse | A |
| Whether are these deceiv d then or I | E |
| In everything I hold this maxim still | F |
| The circumstance doth make it good or ill | F |
