Sonnets Ix Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACAAAAAAAADDFAREWELL thou art too dear for my possessing | A |
And like enough thou know'st thy estimate | B |
The charter of thy worth gives thee releasing | A |
My bonds in thee are all determinate | C |
For how do I hold thee but by thy granting | A |
And for that riches where is my deserving | A |
The cause of this fair gift in me is wanting | A |
And so my patent back again is swerving | A |
Thyself thou gav'st thy own worth then not knowing | A |
Or me to whom thou gav'st it else mistaking | A |
So thy great gift upon misprision growing | A |
Comes home again on better judgment making | A |
nbsp nbsp nbsp Thus have I had thee as a dream doth flatter | D |
nbsp nbsp nbsp In sleep a King but waking no such matter | D |
