Sonnet Xxviii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| O GENIUS does thy Sun resembling beam | A |
| To the internal eyes of Man display | B |
| In clearer prospect the momentous way | B |
| That leads to peace Do they not rather seem | A |
| Dazzled by lustres in continual stream | A |
| Till night they find in such excessive day | B |
| Art thou not prone with too intense a ray | B |
| To gild the hope improbable the dream | A |
| Of fancied good or bid the sigh upbraid | C |
| Imaginary evils and involve | D |
| All real sorrow in a darker shade | C |
| To fond credulity to rash resolve | D |
| Dost thou not prompt till reason's sacred aid | C |
| And fair discretion in thy fires dissolve | D |
