Sonnet Cxxviii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGGHow oft when thou my music music play'st | A |
Upon that blessed wood whose motion sounds | B |
With thy sweet fingers when thou gently sway'st | A |
The wiry concord that mine ear confounds | B |
Do I envy those jacks that nimble leap | C |
To kiss the tender inward of thy hand | D |
Whilst my poor lips which should that harvest reap | C |
At the wood's boldness by thee blushing stand | D |
To be so tickled they would change their state | E |
And situation with those dancing chips | F |
O'er whom thy fingers walk with gentle gait | E |
Making dead wood more blest than living lips | F |
Since saucy jacks so happy are in this | G |
Give them thy fingers me thy lips to kiss | G |
