Sonnet Xxii. Subject Continued Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBABAABCDCDDC| You whose dull spirits feel not the fine glow | A |
| Enthusiasm breathes no more of light | B |
| Perceive ye in rapt POESY tho' bright | B |
| In Fancy's richest colouring than can flow | A |
| From jewel'd treasures in the central night | B |
| Of their deep caves You have no Sun to show | A |
| Their inborn radiance pure Go Snarlers go | A |
| Nor your defects of feeling and of sight | B |
| To charge upon the POET thus presume | C |
| Ye lightless minds whate'er of title proud | D |
| Scholar or Sage or Critic ye assume | C |
| Arraigning his high claims with censure loud | D |
| Or sickly scorn yours yours is all the cloud | D |
| Gems cannot sparkle in the midnight Gloom | C |
