Sonnet 038: How Can My Muse Want Subject To Invent Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFEGEHHHow can my Muse want subject to invent | A |
While thou dost breathe that pour'st into my verse | B |
Thine own sweet argument too excellent | C |
For every vulgar paper to rehearse | B |
O give thyself the thanks if aught in me | D |
Worthy perusal stand against thy sight | E |
For who's so dumb that cannot write to thee | D |
When thou thyself dost give invention light | E |
Be thou the tenth Muse ten times more in worth | F |
Than those old nine which rhymers invocate | E |
And he that calls on thee let him bring forth | G |
Eternal numbers to outlive long date | E |
If my slight Muse do please these curious days | H |
The pain be mine but thine shall be the praise | H |
William Shakespeare
