Sonnet 050: How Heavy Do I Journey On The Way Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFGFHH| How heavy do I journey on the way | A |
| When what I seek my weary travel's end | B |
| Doth teach that case and that repose to say | A |
| Thus far the miles are measured from thy friend | B |
| The beast that bears me tired with my woe | C |
| Plods dully on to bear that weight in me | D |
| As if by some instinct the wretch did know | C |
| His rider loved not speed being made from thee | D |
| The bloody spur cannot provoke him on | E |
| That sometimes anger thrusts into his hide | F |
| Which heavily he answers with a groan | G |
| More sharp to me than spurring to his side | F |
| For that same groan doth put this in my mind | H |
| My grief lies onward and my joy behind | H |
William Shakespeare
