Sonnet Cxxx Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun | A |
| Coral is far more red than her lips' red | B |
| If snow be white why then her breasts are dun | A |
| If hairs be wires black wires grow on her head | B |
| I have seen roses damask'd red and white | C |
| But no such roses see I in her cheeks | D |
| And in some perfumes is there more delight | C |
| Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks | D |
| I love to hear her speak yet well I know | E |
| That music hath a far more pleasing sound | F |
| I grant I never saw a goddess go | E |
| My mistress when she walks treads on the ground | F |
| And yet by heaven I think my love as rare | G |
| As any she belied with false compare | G |
