Sonnet Xxxiv: The Star Of My Mishap Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABABABACADD| The star of my mishap impos'd this paining | A |
| To spend the April of my years in wailing | A |
| That never found my fortune but in waning | A |
| With still fresh cares my present woes assailing | A |
| Yet her I blame not though she might have blest me | B |
| But my desire's wings so high aspiring | A |
| Now melted with the sun that hath possess'd me | B |
| Down do I fall from off my high desiring | A |
| And in my fall do cry for speedy speedy | B |
| No pitying eye looks back upon my mourning | A |
| No help I find when now most favor need I | C |
| Th'ocean of my tears must drown me burning | A |
| And this my death shall christen her anew | D |
| And give the cruel Fair her title do | D |
