Sonnet 049: Against That Time, If Ever That Time Come Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEFGFGFHEAgainst that time if ever that time come | A |
When I shall see thee frown on my defects | B |
When as thy love hath cast his utmost sum | A |
Called to that audit by advised respects | B |
Against that time when thou shalt strangely pass | C |
And scarcely greet me with that sun thine eye | D |
When love converted from the thing it was | E |
Shall reasons find of settled gravity | F |
Against that time do I ensconce me here | G |
Within the knowledge of mine own desart | F |
And this my hand against myself uprear | G |
To guard the lawful reasons on thy part | F |
To leave poor me thou hast the strength of laws | H |
Since why to love I can allege no cause | E |
