Sonnet Xiv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAADDAEFGFHI J| INGRATITUDE how deadly is thy smart | A |
| Proceeding from the Form we fondly love | B |
| How light compared all other sorrows prove | C |
| THOU shed'st a Night of Woe from whence depart | A |
| The gentle beams of Patience that the heart | A |
| 'Mid lesser ills illume Thy Victims rove | D |
| Unquiet as the Ghost that haunts the Grove | D |
| Where MURDER spilt the life blood O thy dart | A |
| Kills more than Life e'en all that makes Life dear | E |
| Till we the sensible of pain wou'd change | F |
| For Phrenzy that defies the bitter tear | G |
| Or wish in kindred callousness to range | F |
| Where moon ey'd IDIOCY with fallen lip | H |
| Drags the loose knee and intermitting step | I |
