Sonnet Cxxxix Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFGHH| O call not me to justify the wrong | A |
| That thy unkindness lays upon my heart | B |
| Wound me not with thine eye but with thy tongue | C |
| Use power with power and slay me not by art | B |
| Tell me thou lovest elsewhere but in my sight | D |
| Dear heart forbear to glance thine eye aside | E |
| What need'st thou wound with cunning when thy might | D |
| Is more than my o'er press'd defense can bide | E |
| Let me excuse thee ah my love well knows | F |
| Her pretty looks have been mine enemies | G |
| And therefore from my face she turns my foes | F |
| That they elsewhere might dart their injuries | G |
| Yet do not so but since I am near slain | H |
| Kill me outright with looks and rid my pain | H |
