What is the rhyme pattern of william shakespeare's sonnet 1307
my mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun
coral is far more red than her lips' red:
if snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
if hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
i have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
but no such roses seel in her cheeks:
and in some perfumes is there more delight
than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
i love to hear her speak, yet well i know
that music hath a far more pleasing sound;
igrant i never saw a goddess go:
my mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
and yet, by heaven, i think my love as rare
as any she belied with false compare.
a aabb, ccdd, eeff gg
b. abba, abba, cddc, ee
c abab, abab, cde cde
d abab, cdcd, efef. 88
