Sonnet Xiii: Behold What Hap Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGDD| Behold 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 |
