Sonnet Cii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACADADEFEFAA| My love is strengthen'd though more weak in seeming | A |
| I love not less though less the show appear | B |
| That love is merchandized whose rich esteeming | A |
| The owner's tongue doth publish every where | C |
| Our love was new and then but in the spring | A |
| When I was wont to greet it with my lays | D |
| As Philomel in summer's front doth sing | A |
| And stops her pipe in growth of riper days | D |
| Not that the summer is less pleasant now | E |
| Than when her mournful hymns did hush the night | F |
| But that wild music burthens every bough | E |
| And sweets grown common lose their dear delight | F |
| Therefore like her I sometime hold my tongue | A |
| Because I would not dull you with my song | A |
William Shakespeare
