Sonnet 138: When My Love Swears That She Is Made Of Truth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFGHH| When my love swears that she is made of truth | A |
| I do believe her though I know she lies | B |
| That she might think me some untutored youth | A |
| Unlearn egrave d in the world's false subtleties | C |
| Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young | D |
| Although she knows my days are past the best | E |
| Simply I credit her false speaking tongue | D |
| On both sides thus is simple truth suppressed | E |
| But wherefore says she not she is unjust | F |
| And wherefore say not I that I am old | G |
| O love's best habit is in seeming trust | F |
| And age in love loves not to have years told | G |
| Therefore I lie with her and she with me | H |
| And in our faults by lies we flattered be | H |
