Sonnet Cxxxi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Thou art as tyrannous so as thou art | A |
| As those whose beauties proudly make them cruel | B |
| For well thou know'st to my dear doting heart | A |
| Thou art the fairest and most precious jewel | B |
| Yet in good faith some say that thee behold | C |
| Thy face hath not the power to make love groan | D |
| To say they err I dare not be so bold | C |
| Although I swear it to myself alone | D |
| And to be sure that is not false I swear | E |
| A thousand groans but thinking on thy face | F |
| One on another's neck do witness bear | E |
| Thy black is fairest in my judgment's place | F |
| In nothing art thou black save in thy deeds | G |
| And thence this slander as I think proceeds | G |
