Sonnet Xxiv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABCBCDEDEAA| Mine eye hath play'd the painter and hath stell'd | A |
| Thy beauty's form in table of my heart | A |
| My body is the frame wherein 'tis held | A |
| And perspective it is the painter's art | A |
| For through the painter must you see his skill | B |
| To find where your true image pictured lies | C |
| Which in my bosom's shop is hanging still | B |
| That hath his windows glazed with thine eyes | C |
| Now see what good turns eyes for eyes have done | D |
| Mine eyes have drawn thy shape and thine for me | E |
| Are windows to my breast where through the sun | D |
| Delights to peep to gaze therein on thee | E |
| Yet eyes this cunning want to grace their art | A |
| They draw but what they see know not the heart | A |
