The Sonnets Xxv - Let Those Who Are In Favour With Their Stars Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGHILet those who are in favour with their stars | A |
Of public honour and proud titles boast | B |
Whilst I whom fortune of such triumph bars | A |
Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most | B |
Great princes' favourites their fair leaves spread | C |
But as the marigold at the sun's eye | D |
And in themselves their pride lies buried | E |
For at a frown they in their glory die | D |
The painful warrior famoused for fight | F |
After a thousand victories once foil'd | G |
Is from the book of honour razed quite | F |
And all the rest forgot for which he toil'd | G |
Then happy I that love and am belov'd | H |
Where I may not remove nor be remov'd | I |
William Shakespeare
