Sonnet 71: No Longer Mourn For Me When I Am Dead Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGHNo longer mourn for me when I am dead | A |
Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell | B |
Give warning to the world that I am fled | A |
From this vile world with vilest worms to dwell | B |
Nay if you read this line remember not | C |
The hand that writ it for I love you so | D |
That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot | C |
If thinking on me then should make you woe | D |
O if I say you look upon this verse | E |
When I perhaps compounded am with clay | F |
Do not so much as my poor name rehearse | E |
But let your love even with my life decay | F |
Lest the wise world should look into your moan | G |
And mock you with me after I am gone | H |
