Sonnet Xxiii. To Miss E. S Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCABDADEFEFEF G| Do I not tell thee surly Winter's flown | A |
| That the brook's verge is green and bid thee hear | B |
| In yon irriguous vale the Blackbird clear | C |
| At measur'd intervals with mellow tone | A |
| Choiring the hours of prime and call thine ear | B |
| To the gay viol dinning in the dale | D |
| With tabor loud and bag pipe's rustic drone | A |
| To merry Shearer's dance or jest retail | D |
| From festal board from choral roofs the song | E |
| And speak of Masque or Pageant to beguile | F |
| The caustic memory of a cruel wrong | E |
| Thy lips acknowledge this a generous wile | F |
| And bid me still the effort kind prolong | E |
| But ah they wear a cold and joyless smile | F |
| - | |
| While Day arises that sweet hour of prime MILTON'S PAR LOST | G |
