Sonnet 071: No Longer Mourn For Me When I Am Dead Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGH| No longer mourn for me when I am dead | A |
| Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell | B |
| Give warning to the world that I am fled | A |
| From this vile world with vilest worms to dwell | B |
| Nay if you read this line remember not | C |
| The hand that writ it for I love you so | D |
| That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot | C |
| If thinking on me then should make you woe | D |
| O if I say you look upon this verse | E |
| When I perhaps compounded am with clay | F |
| Do not so much as my poor name rehearse | E |
| But let your love even with my life decay | F |
| Lest the wise world should look into your moan | G |
| And mock you with me after I am gone | H |
