Sonnet 54: Because I Breathe Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBDEFEFGH| Because I breathe not love to every one | A |
| Nor do not use set colours for to wear | B |
| Nor nourish special locks of vowed hair | B |
| Nor give each speech a full point of a groan | C |
| The courtly nymphs acquainted with the moan | C |
| Of them who in their lips Love's standard bear | B |
| 'What he ' say they of me 'now I dare swear | B |
| He cannot love No no let him alone ' | D |
| And think so still so Stella know my mind | E |
| Profess indeed I do not Cupid's art | F |
| But you fair maids at length this true shall find | E |
| That his right badge is worn but in the heart | F |
| Dumb swans not chattering pies do lovers prove | G |
| They love indeed who quake to say they love | H |
