Sonnet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCD EFGGHIJ KLMNDDO PPFEQQO RRSEOOE| Oh for some honest lover's ghost | A |
| Some kind unbodied post | A |
| Sent from the shades below | B |
| I strangely long to know | B |
| Whether the noble chaplets wear | C |
| Those that their mistress' scorn did bear | C |
| Or those that were used kindly | D |
| - | |
| For whatsoe'er they tell us here | E |
| To make those sufferings dear | F |
| 'Twill there I fear be found | G |
| That to the being crowned | G |
| T' have loved alone will not suffice | H |
| Unless we also have been wise | I |
| And have our loves enjoyed | J |
| - | |
| What posture can we think him in | K |
| That here unloved again | L |
| Departs and 's thither gone | M |
| Where each sits by his own | N |
| Or how can that Elysium be | D |
| Where I my mistress still must see | D |
| Circled in other's arms | O |
| - | |
| For there the judges all are just | P |
| And Sophonisba must | P |
| Be his whom she held dear | F |
| Not his who loved her here | E |
| The sweet Philoclea since she died | Q |
| Lies by her Pirocles his side | Q |
| Not by Amphialus | O |
| - | |
| Some bays perchance or myrtle bough | R |
| For difference crowns the brow | R |
| Of those kind souls that were | S |
| The noble martyrs here | E |
| And if that be the only odds | O |
| As who can tell ye kinder gods | O |
| Give me the woman here | E |
