Sonnet Cxix Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFEFEGG| What potions have I drunk of Siren tears | A |
| Distill'd from limbecks foul as hell within | B |
| Applying fears to hopes and hopes to fears | C |
| Still losing when I saw myself to win | B |
| What wretched errors hath my heart committed | D |
| Whilst it hath thought itself so blessed never | E |
| How have mine eyes out of their spheres been fitted | D |
| In the distraction of this madding fever | E |
| O benefit of ill now I find true | F |
| That better is by evil still made better | E |
| And ruin'd love when it is built anew | F |
| Grows fairer than at first more strong far greater | E |
| So I return rebuked to my content | G |
| And gain by ill thrice more than I have spent | G |
