Sonnet 99: The Forward Violet Thus Did I Chide Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACDCDEFEFGG| The forward violet thus did I chide | A |
| Sweet thief whence didst thou steal thy sweet that smells | B |
| If not from my love's breath The purple pride | A |
| Which on thy soft check for complexion dwells | B |
| In my love's veins thou hast too grossly dyed | A |
| The lily I condemn egrave d for thy hand | C |
| And buds of marjoram had stol'n thy hair | D |
| The roses fearfully on thorns did stand | C |
| One blushing shame another white despair | D |
| A third nor red nor white had stol'n of both | E |
| And to his robbery had annexed thy breath | F |
| But for his theft in pride of all his growth | E |
| A vengeful canker eat him up to death | F |
| More flowers I noted yet I none could see | G |
| But sweet or colour it had stol'n from thee | G |
