Sonnet Cxlii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFGHH| Love is my sin and thy dear virtue hate | A |
| Hate of my sin grounded on sinful loving | B |
| O but with mine compare thou thine own state | A |
| And thou shalt find it merits not reproving | B |
| Or if it do not from those lips of thine | C |
| That have profaned their scarlet ornaments | D |
| And seal'd false bonds of love as oft as mine | C |
| Robb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents | E |
| Be it lawful I love thee as thou lovest those | F |
| Whom thine eyes woo as mine importune thee | G |
| Root pity in thy heart that when it grows | F |
| Thy pity may deserve to pitied be | G |
| If thou dost seek to have what thou dost hide | H |
| By self example mayst thou be denied | H |
