Sonnet Xliv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDAEAFGG| If the dull substance of my flesh were thought | A |
| Injurious distance should not stop my way | B |
| For then despite of space I would be brought | A |
| From limits far remote where thou dost stay | B |
| No matter then although my foot did stand | C |
| Upon the farthest earth removed from thee | D |
| For nimble thought can jump both sea and land | C |
| As soon as think the place where he would be | D |
| But ah thought kills me that I am not thought | A |
| To leap large lengths of miles when thou art gone | E |
| But that so much of earth and water wrought | A |
| I must attend time's leisure with my moan | F |
| Receiving nought by elements so slow | G |
| But heavy tears badges of either's woe | G |
