Sonnet Iv. To Honora Sneyd[1], Whose Health Was Always Best In Winter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCECE C F| And now the youthful gay capricious Spring | A |
| Piercing her showery clouds with crystal light | B |
| And with their hues reflected streaking bright | B |
| Her radiant bow bids all her Warblers sing | A |
| The Lark shrill caroling on soaring wing | A |
| The lonely Thrush in brake with blossoms white | B |
| That tunes his pipe so loud while from the sight | B |
| Coy bending their dropt heads young Cowslips fling | A |
| Rich perfume o'er the fields It is the prime | C |
| Of Hours that Beauty robes yet all they gild | D |
| Cheer and delight in this their fragrant time | C |
| For thy dear sake to me less pleasure yield | E |
| Than veil'd in sleet and rain and hoary rime | C |
| Dim Winter's naked hedge and plashy field | E |

| May | C |

| Afterwards Mrs Edgeworth | F |
