Sonnet Xiii: Behold What Hap Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGDDBehold what hap Pygmalion had to frame | A |
And carve his proper grief upon a stone | B |
My heavy fortune is much like the same | A |
I work on flint and that's the cause I moan | B |
For hapless lo ev'n with mine own desires | C |
I figur'd on the table of my heart | D |
The fairest form the world's eye admires | E |
And so did perish by my proper art | D |
And still I toil to change the marble breast | F |
Of her whose sweetest grace I do adore | G |
Yet cannot find her breath unto my rest | F |
Hard is her heart and woe is me therefore | G |
O happy he that joy'd his stone and art | D |
Unhappy I to love a stony heart | D |
Samuel Daniel
