Sonnet 128: How Oft, When Thou, My Music, Music Play'st Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| How oft when thou my music music play'st | A |
| Upon that bless egrave d wood whose motion sounds | B |
| With thy sweet fingers when thou gently sway'st | A |
| The wiry concord that mine ear confounds | B |
| Do I envy those jacks that nimble leap | C |
| To kiss the tender inward of thy hand | D |
| Whilst my poor lips which should that harvest reap | C |
| At the wood's boldness by thee blushing stand | D |
| To be so tickled they would change their state | E |
| And situation with those dancing chips | F |
| O'er whom thy fingers walk with gentle gait | E |
| Making dead wood more blest than living lips | F |
| Since saucy jacks so happy are in this | G |
| Give them thy fingers me thy lips to kiss | G |
William Shakespeare
