A Sonnet, To The Noble Lady, The Lady Mary Wroth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBADEFGHH| I that have been a lover and could show it | A |
| Though not in these in rhymes not wholly dumb | B |
| Since I exscribe your sonnets am become | B |
| A better lover and much better poet | C |
| Nor is my Muse or I ashamed to owe it | A |
| To those true numerous graces whereof some | B |
| But charm the senses others overcome | B |
| Both brains and hearts and mine now best do know it | A |
| For in your verse all Cupid's armory | D |
| His flames his shafts his quiver and his bow | E |
| His very eyes are yours to overthrow | F |
| But then his mother's sweets you so apply | G |
| Her joys her smiles her loves as readers take | H |
| For Venus' ceston every line you make | H |
