Sonnet Xxviii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDAEAFGGHow can I then return in happy plight | A |
That am debarr'd the benefit of rest | B |
When day's oppression is not eased by night | A |
But day by night and night by day oppress'd | B |
And each though enemies to either's reign | C |
Do in consent shake hands to torture me | D |
The one by toil the other to complain | C |
How far I toil still farther off from thee | D |
I tell the day to please them thou art bright | A |
And dost him grace when clouds do blot the heaven | E |
So flatter I the swart complexion'd night | A |
When sparkling stars twire not thou gild'st the even | F |
But day doth daily draw my sorrows longer | G |
And night doth nightly make grief's strength seem stronger | G |
William Shakespeare
