The Sonnets Li - Thus Can My Love Excuse The Slow Offence Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDAEAEDFThus can my love excuse the slow offence | A |
Of my dull bearer when from thee I speed | B |
From where thou art why should I haste me thence | A |
Till I return of posting is no need | B |
O what excuse will my poor beast then find | C |
When swift extremity can seem but slow | D |
Then should I spur though mounted on the wind | C |
In winged speed no motion shall I know | D |
Then can no horse with my desire keep pace | A |
Therefore desire of perfect'st love being made | E |
Shall neigh no dull flesh in his fiery race | A |
But love for love thus shall excuse my jade | E |
'Since from thee going he went wilful slow | D |
Towards thee I'll run and give him leave to go ' | F |
