Sonnet 9: Is It For Fear To Wet A Widow's Eye Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGGIs it for fear to wet a widow's eye | A |
That thou consum'st thy self in single life | B |
Ah if thou issueless shalt hap to die | A |
The world will wail thee like a makeless wife | B |
The world will be thy widow and still weep | C |
That thou no form of thee hast left behind | D |
When every private widow well may keep | C |
By children's eyes her husband's shape in mind | D |
Look what an unthrift in the world doth spend | E |
Shifts but his place for still the world enjoys it | F |
But beauty's waste hath in the world an end | E |
And kept unused the user so destroys it | F |
No love toward others in that bosom sits | G |
That on himself such murd'rous shame commits | G |
