Sonnet 130: My Mistress' Eyes Are Nothing Like The Sun Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGGMy mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun | A |
Coral is far more red than her lips' red | B |
If snow be white why then her breasts are dun | A |
If hairs be wires black wires grow on her head | B |
I have seen roses damasked red and white | C |
But no such roses see I in her cheeks | D |
And in some perfumes is there more delight | C |
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks | D |
I love to hear her speak yet well I know | E |
That music hath a far more pleasing sound | F |
I grant I never saw a goddess go | E |
My mistress when she walks treads on the ground | F |
And yet by heaven I think my love as rare | G |
As any she belied with false compare | G |
