Love Sonnet Xliv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDE

Love is the sepulchre of all my sinA
If it be sin to let the body sinkB
In that slow dying the sick senses drinkB
That ne er have felt true Love s delight rush inA
Hot Vice may sear the bloom of Beauty s skinA
Polluting Virtue with a painted winkB
But Love smiles lightly at such guilt I thinkB
And cures corruption e er her ills beginA
-
I cannot tell the wonder of desireC
That flames my cheek when you are by my sideD
Nor dare I speak the secret of that blissE
That sets the senses of my soul on fireC
Ah Love all my sin vanished into prideD
When I drank Heaven from your first pure kissE
