Sonnet 10 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFEGH| I have sought Happiness but it has been | A |
| A lovely rainbow baffling all pursuit | B |
| And tasted Pleasure but it was a fruit | B |
| More fair of outward hue than sweet within | A |
| Renouncing both a flake in the ferment | C |
| Of battling hosts that conquer or recoil | D |
| There only chastened by fatigue and toil | D |
| I knew what came the nearest to content | C |
| For there at least my troubled flesh was free | E |
| From the gadfly Desire that plagued it so | F |
| Discord and Strife were what I used to know | F |
| Heartaches deception murderous jealousy | E |
| By War transported far from all of these | G |
| Amid the clash of arms I was at peace | H |
