The Sonnets Lxxxvii - Farewell! Thou Art Too Dear For My Possessing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACAAAAAAAADD| Farewell 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 |
| Thy self 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 judgement making | A |
| Thus have I had thee as a dream doth flatter | D |
| In sleep a king but waking no such matter | D |
William Shakespeare
