Sonnets Cxlvi: Poor Soul, The Centre Of My Sinful Earth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGHHPoor soul the centre of my sinful earth | A |
these rebel powers that thee array | B |
Why dost thou pine within and suffer dearth | A |
Painting thy outward walls so costly gay | B |
Why so large cost having so short a lease | C |
Dost thou upon thy fading mansion spend | D |
Shall worms inheritors of this excess | E |
Eat up thy charge Is this thy body's end | D |
Then soul live thou upon thy servant's loss | F |
And let that pine to aggravate thy store | G |
Buy terms divine in selling hours of dross | F |
Within be fed without be rich no more | G |
So shalt thou feed on Death that feeds on men | H |
And Death once dead there's no more dying then | H |
