A Last Look - Sonnets Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACCDEED| Sick of self love Malvolio like an owl | A |
| That hoots the sun rerisen where starlight sank | B |
| With German garters crossed athwart thy frank | B |
| Stout Scottish legs men watched thee snarl and scowl | A |
| And boys responsive with reverberate howl | A |
| Shrilled hearing how to thee the springtime stank | B |
| And as thine own soul all the world smelt rank | B |
| And as thine own thoughts Liberty seemed foul | A |
| Now for all ill thoughts nursed and ill words given | C |
| Not all condemned not utterly forgiven | C |
| Son of the storm and darkness pass in peace | D |
| Peace upon earth thou knewest not now being dead | E |
| Rest with nor curse nor blessing on thine head | E |
| Where high strung hate and strenuous envy cease | D |
