Sonnets: Idea Xxxviii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDEFGHHGIJ| Sitting alone love bids me go and write | A |
| Reason plucks back commanding me to stay | B |
| Boasting that she doth still direct the way | B |
| Or else love were unable to indite | A |
| Love growing angry vex d at the spleen | C |
| And scorning reason's maim d argument | D |
| Straight taxeth reason wanting to invent | E |
| Where she with love conversing hath not been | F |
| Reason reproach d with this coy disdain | G |
| Despiteth love and laugheth at her folly | H |
| And love contemning reason's reason wholly | H |
| Thought it in weight too light by many a grain | G |
| Reason put back doth out of sight remove | I |
| And love alone picks reason out of love | J |
