Sonnet Xiii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFGHH| I fancied while you stood conversing there | A |
| Superb in every attitude a queen | B |
| Her ermine thus Boadicea bare | A |
| So moved amid the multitude Faustine | B |
| My life whose whole religion Beauty is | C |
| Be charged with sin if ever before yours | D |
| A lesser feeling crossed my mind than his | C |
| Who owning grandeur marvels and adores | E |
| Nay rather in my dream world's ivory tower | F |
| I made your image the high pearly sill | G |
| And mounting there in many a wistful hour | F |
| Burdened with love I trembled and was still | G |
| Seeing discovered from that azure height | H |
| Remote untrod horizons of delight | H |
