Sonnet 142: Love Is My Sin, And Thy Dear Virtue Hate Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFGHHLove is my sin and thy dear virtue hate | A |
Hate of my sin grounded on sinful loving | B |
O but with mine compare thou thine own state | A |
And thou shalt find it merits not reproving | B |
Or if it do not from those lips of thine | C |
That have profaned their scarlet ornaments | D |
And sealed false bonds of love as oft as mine | C |
Robbed others' beds' revenues of their rents | E |
Be it lawful I love thee as thou lov'st those | F |
Whom thine eyes woo as mine importune thee | G |
Root pity in thy heart that when it grows | F |
Thy pity may deserve to pitied be | G |
If thou dost seek to have what thou dost hide | H |
By self example mayst thou be denied | H |
