Sonnet 38: Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFEGEHH| How can my muse want subject to invent | A |
| While thou dost breathe that pour'st into my verse | B |
| Thine own sweet argument too excellent | C |
| For every vulgar paper to rehearse | B |
| O give thy self the thanks if aught in me | D |
| Worthy perusal stand against thy sight | E |
| For who's so dumb that cannot write to thee | D |
| When thou thy self dost give invention light | E |
| Be thou the tenth Muse ten times more in worth | F |
| Than those old nine which rhymers invocate | E |
| And he that calls on thee let him bring forth | G |
| Eternal numbers to outlive long date | E |
| If my slight muse do please these curious days | H |
| The pain be mine but thine shall be the praise | H |
