Sonnet Lvi. To A Timid Young Lady, Distressed By The Attentions Of An Amiable, And Accepted Lover Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEE F| What bashful wildness in those crystal eyes | A |
| Fair Zillia Ah more dear to LOVE the gaze | B |
| That dwells upon its object than the rays | B |
| Of that vague glance quick as in summer skies | A |
| The lightning's lambent flash when neither rise | A |
| Thunder nor storm I mark while transport plays | B |
| Warm in thy Lover's eye what dread betrays | B |
| Thy throbbing heart yet why from his soft sighs | A |
| Fleet'st thou so swift away like the young Hind | C |
| That bending stands the fountain's brim beside | D |
| When with a sudden gust the western wind | C |
| Rustles among the boughs that shade the tide | D |
| See from the stream innoxious and benign | E |
| Starting she bounds with terror vain as thine | E |
| - | |
| Vitas hinnuleo me similis Chloe HORACE | F |
