Sonnet Xxviii: Reign In My Thoughts Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFGHH| Reign in my thoughts fair hand sweet eye rare voice | A |
| Possess me whole my heart's triumvirate | B |
| Yet heavy heart to make so hard a choice | A |
| Of such as spoil thy poor afflicted stated | C |
| For whilst they strive which shall be Lord of all | D |
| All my poor life by them is trodden down | E |
| They all erect their Trophies on my fall | D |
| And yield me nought that gives them their renown | E |
| When back I look I sigh my freedom past | F |
| And wail the state wherein I present stand | G |
| And see my fortune ever like to last | F |
| Finding me reign'd with such a heavy hand | G |
| What can I do by yield and yield I do | H |
| And serve all three and yet they spoil me too | H |
