Sonnet 102: My Love Is Strengthened, Though More Weak In Seeming Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACADADEFEFAAMy love is strengthened though more weak in seeming | A |
I love not less though less the show appear | B |
That love is merchandized whose rich esteeming | A |
The owner's tongue doth publish everywhere | C |
Our love was new and then but in the spring | A |
When I was wont to greet it with my lays | D |
As Philomel in summer's front doth sing | A |
And stops her pipe in growth of riper days | D |
Not that the summer is less pleasant now | E |
Than when her mournful hymns did hush the night | F |
But that wild music burthens every bough | E |
And sweets grown common lose their dear delight | F |
Therefore like her I sometime hold my tongue | A |
Because I would not dull you with my song | A |
William Shakespeare
