Sonnet 52: A Strife Is Grown Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCD DBCD EFE FGG

A strife is grown between Virtue and LoveA
While each pretends that Stella must be hisB
Her eyes her lips her all saith Love do thisC
Since they do wear his badge most firmly proveD
-
But Virtue thus that title doth disproveD
That Stella oh dear name that Stella isB
That virtuous soul sure heir of heav'nly blissC
Not this fair outside which our hearts doth moveD
-
And therefore though her beauty and her graceE
Be Love's indeed in Stella's self he mayF
By no pretense claim any manner placeE
-
Well Love since this demur our suit will stayF
Let Virtue have that Stella's self yet thusG
That Virtue but that body grant to usG
