Sonnet Lxx Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGHHThat thou art blamed shall not be thy defect | A |
For slander's mark was ever yet the fair | B |
The ornament of beauty is suspect | A |
A crow that flies in heaven's sweetest air | B |
So thou be good slander doth but approve | C |
Thy worth the greater being woo'd of time | D |
For canker vice the sweetest buds doth love | E |
And thou present'st a pure unstained prime | D |
Thou hast pass'd by the ambush of young days | F |
Either not assail'd or victor being charged | G |
Yet this thy praise cannot be so thy praise | F |
To tie up envy evermore enlarged | G |
If some suspect of ill mask'd not thy show | H |
Then thou alone kingdoms of hearts shouldst owe | H |
