Sonnet Cxix Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFEFEGGWhat 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 |
