Sonnet Lxx: On Being Cautioned Against Walking On An Headland Overlooking The Sea, Because It Was Fr Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACACDEDFBB| Is there a solitary wretch who hies | A |
| To the tall cliff with starting pace or slow | B |
| And measuring views with wild and hollow eyes | A |
| Its distance from the waves that chide below | B |
| Who as the sea born gale with frequent sighs | A |
| Chills his cold bed upon the mountain turf | C |
| With hoarse half utter'd lamentation lies | A |
| Murmuring responses to the dashing surf | C |
| In moody sadness on the giddy brink | D |
| I see him more with envy than with fear | E |
| He has no nice felicities that shrink | D |
| From giant horrors wildly wandering here | F |
| He seems uncursed with reason not to know | B |
| The depth or the duration of his woe | B |
