Sonnet 24: Mine Eye Hath Played The Painter And Hath Stelled Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AAAABCBCDEDEAA

Mine eye hath played the painter and hath stelledA
Thy beauty's form in table of my heartA
My body is the frame wherein 'tis heldA
And perspective it is best painter's artA
For through the painter must you see his skillB
To find where your true image pictured liesC
Which in my bosom's shop is hanging stillB
That hath his windows glaz egrave d with thine eyesC
Now see what good turns eyes for eyes have doneD
Mine eyes have drawn thy shape and thine for meE
Are windows to my breast where through the sunD
Delights to peep to gaze therein on theeE
Yet eyes this cunning want to grace their artA
They draw but what they see know not the heartA

William Shakespeare
