Sonnet Cxxi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFGHH'Tis better to be vile than vile esteem'd | A |
When not to be receives reproach of being | B |
And the just pleasure lost which is so deem'd | A |
Not by our feeling but by others' seeing | B |
For why should others false adulterate eyes | C |
Give salutation to my sportive blood | D |
Or on my frailties why are frailer spies | C |
Which in their wills count bad what I think good | E |
No I am that I am and they that level | F |
At my abuses reckon up their own | G |
I may be straight though they themselves be bevel | F |
By their rank thoughts my deeds must not be shown | G |
Unless this general evil they maintain | H |
All men are bad and in their badness reign | H |
