Sonnet 034: Why Didst Thou Promise Such A Beauteous Day Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGHI| Why didst thou promise such a beauteous day | A |
| And make me travel forth without my cloak | B |
| To let base clouds o'ertake me in my way | A |
| Hiding thy brav'ry in their rotten smoke | B |
| 'Tis not enough that through the cloud thou break | C |
| To dry the rain on my storm beaten face | D |
| For no man well of such a salve can speak | E |
| That heals the wound and cures not the disgrace | D |
| Nor can thy shame give physic to my grief | F |
| Though thou repent yet I have still the loss | G |
| Th' offender's sorrow lends but weak relief | F |
| To him that bears the strong offence's cross | G |
| Ah but those tears are pearl which thy love sheds | H |
| And they are rich and ransom all ill deeds | I |
William Shakespeare
