Sonnet Lxxx Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFGHH| O how I faint when I of you do write | A |
| Knowing a better spirit doth use your name | B |
| And in the praise thereof spends all his might | A |
| To make me tongue tied speaking of your fame | B |
| But since your worth wide as the ocean is | C |
| The humble as the proudest sail doth bear | D |
| My saucy bark inferior far to his | C |
| On your broad main doth wilfully appear | E |
| Your shallowest help will hold me up afloat | F |
| Whilst he upon your soundless deep doth ride | G |
| Or being wreck'd I am a worthless boat | F |
| He of tall building and of goodly pride | G |
| Then if he thrive and I be cast away | H |
| The worst was this my love was my decay | H |
