The Sonnets Lxix - Those Parts Of Thee That The World's Eye Doth View Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Those parts of thee that the world's eye doth view | A |
| Want nothing that the thought of hearts can mend | B |
| All tongues the voice of souls give thee that due | A |
| Uttering bare truth even so as foes commend | B |
| Thy outward thus with outward praise is crown'd | C |
| But those same tongues that give thee so thine own | D |
| In other accents do this praise confound | C |
| By seeing farther than the eye hath shown | D |
| They look into the beauty of thy mind | E |
| And that in guess they measure by thy deeds | F |
| Then churls their thoughts although their eyes were kind | E |
| To thy fair flower add the rank smell of weeds | F |
| But why thy odour matcheth not thy show | G |
| The soil is this that thou dost common grow | G |
