Sonnet 56: Sweet Love, Renew Thy Force, Be It Not Said Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFGHHSweet love renew thy force Be it not said | A |
Thy edge should blunter be than appetite | B |
Which but today by feeding is allayed | C |
Tomorrow sharpened in his former might | B |
So love be thou although today thou fill | D |
Thy hungry eyes even till they wink with fulness | E |
Tomorrow see again and do not kill | D |
The spirit of love with a perpetual dullness | E |
Let this sad interim like the ocean be | F |
Which parts the shore where two contracted new | G |
Come daily to the banks that when they see | F |
Return of love more blest may be the view | G |
As call it winter which being full of care | H |
Makes summer's welcome thrice more wished more rare | H |
