Sonnet Lxxix Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGHIJJ| Whilst I alone did call upon thy aid | A |
| My verse alone had all thy gentle grace | B |
| But now my gracious numbers are decay'd | A |
| And my sick Muse doth give another place | B |
| I grant sweet love thy lovely argument | C |
| Deserves the travail of a worthier pen | D |
| Yet what of thee thy poet doth invent | E |
| He robs thee of and pays it thee again | D |
| He lends thee virtue and he stole that word | F |
| From thy behavior beauty doth he give | G |
| And found it in thy cheek he can afford | H |
| No praise to thee but what in thee doth live | I |
| Then thank him not for that which he doth say | J |
| Since what he owes thee thou thyself dost pay | J |
