The Sonnets Cxxxviii - When My Love Swears That She Is Made Of Truth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFGHHWhen my love swears that she is made of truth | A |
I do believe her though I know she lies | B |
That she might think me some untutor'd youth | A |
Unlearned in the world's false subtleties | C |
Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young | D |
Although she knows my days are past the best | E |
Simply I credit her false speaking tongue | D |
On both sides thus is simple truth suppressed | E |
But wherefore says she not she is unjust | F |
And wherefore say not I that I am old | G |
O love's best habit is in seeming trust | F |
And age in love loves not to have years told | G |
Therefore I lie with her and she with me | H |
And in our faults by lies we flatter'd be | H |
William Shakespeare
