Sonnet Xxi: If Beauty Thus Be Clouded Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDFGHGHII| If Beauty thus be clouded with a frown | A |
| That pity shines no comfort to my bliss | B |
| And vapors of disdain so overfrown | A |
| That my life's light thus wholy darken'd is | C |
| Why should I more molest the world with cries | D |
| The air with sighs the earth below with tears | E |
| Since I live hateful to those ruthless eyes | D |
| Vexing with untun'd moan her dainty ears | F |
| If I have lov'd her dearer than my breath | G |
| My breath that calls the heav'ns to witness it | H |
| And still must hold her dear till after death | G |
| And if that all this cannot move a whit | H |
| Yet let her say that she hath done me wrong | I |
| To use me thus and know I lov'd so long | I |
Samuel Daniel
