Sonnet Lxix Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGGThose parts of thee that the world's eye doth view | A |
Want nothing that the thought of hearts can mend | B |
All tongues the voice of souls give thee that due | A |
Uttering bare truth even so as foes commend | B |
Thy outward thus with outward praise is crown'd | C |
But those same tongues that give thee so thine own | D |
In other accents do this praise confound | C |
By seeing farther than the eye hath shown | D |
They look into the beauty of thy mind | E |
And that in guess they measure by thy deeds | F |
Then churls their thoughts although their eyes were kind | E |
To thy fair flower add the rank smell of weeds | F |
But why thy odour matcheth not thy show | G |
The solve is this that thou dost common grow | G |
