Sonnet Ix. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDDEDEFGFG| BLEST is yon shepherd on the turf reclined | A |
| Who on the varied clouds which float above | B |
| Lies idly gazing while his vacant mind | A |
| Pours out some tale antique of rural love | B |
| Ah he has never felt the pangs that move | C |
| Th' indignant spirit when with selfish pride | D |
| Friends on whose faith the trusting heart relied | D |
| Unkindly shun th' imploring eye of woe | E |
| The ills they ought to soothe with taunts deride | D |
| And laugh at tears themselves have forced to flow | E |
| Nor his rude bosom those fine feelings melt | F |
| Children of Sentiment and Knowledge born | G |
| Through whom each shaft with cruel force is felt | F |
| Empoison'd by deceit or barb'd with scorn | G |
