Sonnet Cxvii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGHI| Accuse me thus that I have scanted all | A |
| Wherein I should your great deserts repay | B |
| Forgot upon your dearest love to call | A |
| Whereto all bonds do tie me day by day | B |
| That I have frequent been with unknown minds | C |
| And given to time your own dear purchased right | D |
| That I have hoisted sail to all the winds | E |
| Which should transport me farthest from your sight | D |
| Book both my wilfulness and errors down | F |
| And on just proof surmise accumulate | G |
| Bring me within the level of your frown | F |
| But shoot not at me in your waken'd hate | G |
| Since my appeal says I did strive to prove | H |
| The constancy and virtue of your love | I |
William Shakespeare
