Sonnet Ix Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCADEFEGE| Seek not my Lesbia the sequester'd dale | A |
| Or bear thou to its shades a tranquil heart | B |
| Since rankles most in solitude the smart | B |
| Of injur'd charms and talents when they fail | A |
| To meet their due regard nor e'en prevail | A |
| Where most they wish to please Yet since thy part | B |
| Is large in Life's chief blessings why desert | C |
| Sullen the world Alas how many wail | A |
| Dire loss of the best comforts Heaven can grant | D |
| While they the bitter tear in secret pour | E |
| Smote by the death of Friends Disease or Want | F |
| Slight wrongs if thy self valuing soul deplore | E |
| Thou but resemblest in thy lonely haunt | G |
| Narcissus pining on the watry shore | E |
