Sonnet 83: I Never Saw That You Did Painting Need Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEGHH| I never saw that you did painting need | A |
| And therefore to your fair no painting set | B |
| I found or thought I found you did exceed | A |
| That barren tender of a poet's debt | B |
| And therefore have I slept in your report | C |
| That you yourself being extant well might show | D |
| How far a modern quill doth come too short | C |
| Speaking of worth what worth in you doth grow | D |
| This silence for my sin you did impute | E |
| Which shall be most my glory being dumb | F |
| For I impair not beauty being mute | E |
| When others would give life and bring a tomb | G |
| There lives more life in one of your fair eyes | H |
| Than both your poets can in praise devise | H |
