Sonnet 20: A Woman's Face With Nature's Own Hand Painted Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEADADFFA woman's face with Nature's own hand painted | A |
Hast thou the master mistress of my passion | B |
A woman's gentle heart but not acquainted | C |
With shifting change as is false women's fashion | B |
An eye more bright than theirs less false in rolling | D |
Gilding the object whereupon it gazeth | E |
A man in hue all hues in his controlling | D |
Which steals men's eyes and women's souls amazeth | E |
And for a woman wert thou first created | A |
Till Nature as she wrought thee fell a doting | D |
And by addition me of thee defeated | A |
By adding one thing to my purpose nothing | D |
But since she pricked thee out for women's pleasure | F |
Mine be thy love and thy love's use their treasure | F |
William Shakespeare
