The Sonnets Xcix - The Forward Violet Thus Did I Chide Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACDCDEFEFGGThe forward violet thus did I chide | A |
Sweet thief whence didst thou steal thy sweet that smells | B |
If not from my love's breath The purple pride | A |
Which on thy soft cheek for complexion dwells | B |
In my love's veins thou hast too grossly dy'd | A |
The lily I condemned for thy hand | C |
And buds of marjoram had stol'n thy hair | D |
The roses fearfully on thorns did stand | C |
One blushing shame another white despair | D |
A third nor red nor white had stol'n of both | E |
And to his robbery had annex'd thy breath | F |
But for his theft in pride of all his growth | E |
A vengeful canker eat him up to death | F |
More flowers I noted yet I none could see | G |
But sweet or colour it had stol'n from thee | G |
