Sonnet Iii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCB DDDDEFEFAA| THE FORNARINA | A |
| - | |
| AND bless'd was she thou lovedst for whose sake | B |
| Thy wit did veil in fanciful disguise | C |
| The answer which thou wert compell'd to make | B |
| To Rome's High Priest and call'd her then 'Thine Eyes ' | - |
| Tho' of her life obscure there is no trace | D |
| Save where its thread with THY bright history twines | D |
| Tho' all we know of her be that sweet face | D |
| Whose nameless beauty from thy canvass shines | D |
| Dependent still upon her Raphael's fame | E |
| And but recorded by her low degree | F |
| As one who had in life no higher claim | E |
| Than to be painted and be loved by thee | F |
| Yet would I be forgot as she is now | A |
| Once to have press'd my lips on that seraphic brow | A |
