Sonnet Lxxxix. Subject Continued Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| Yon late but gleaming Moon in hoary light | A |
| Shines out unveil'd and on the cloud's dark fleece | B |
| Rests but her strengthen'd beams appear to increase | B |
| The wild disorder of this troubled Night | A |
| Redoubling Echos seem yet more to excite | A |
| The roaring Winds and Waters Ah why cease | B |
| Resolves that promis'd everlasting peace | B |
| And drew my steps to this incumbent height | A |
| I wish I shudder stretch my longing arms | C |
| O'er the steep cliff My swelling spirits brave | D |
| The leap that quiets all these dire alarms | C |
| And floats me tossing on the stormy wave | D |
| But Oh what roots my feet what spells what charms | C |
| The daring purpose of my Soul enslave | D |
