Sonnet Lxvi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBDEFEFEF| Nobly to scorn thy gilded veil to wear | A |
| Soft Simulation wisely to abstain | B |
| From fostering Envy's asps to dash the bane | B |
| Far from our hearts which Hate with frown severe | C |
| Extends for those who wrong us to revere | C |
| With soul or grateful or resign'd the train | B |
| Of mercies and of trials is to gain | B |
| A quiet Conscience best of blessings here | D |
| Calm Conscience is a land encircled bay | E |
| On whose smooth surface Tempests never blow | F |
| Which shall the reflex of our life display | E |
| Unstain'd by crime tho' gloom'd with transient woe | F |
| While the bright hopes of Heaven's eternal day | E |
| Upon the fair and silent waters glow | F |
