The Sonnets Cxli - In Faith I Do Not Love Thee With Mine Eyes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| In faith I do not love thee with mine eyes | A |
| For they in thee a thousand errors note | B |
| But 'tis my heart that loves what they despise | A |
| Who in despite of view is pleased to dote | B |
| Nor are mine ears with thy tongue's tune delighted | C |
| Nor tender feeling to base touches prone | D |
| Nor taste nor smell desire to be invited | C |
| To any sensual feast with thee alone | D |
| But my five wits nor my five senses can | E |
| Dissuade one foolish heart from serving thee | F |
| Who leaves unsway'd the likeness of a man | E |
| Thy proud heart's slave and vassal wretch to be | F |
| Only my plague thus far I count my gain | G |
| That she that makes me sin awards me pain | G |
