Sonnet Lxxiii. To A Querulous Acquaintance Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDCCDAEAEFF| THOU whom Prosperity has always led | A |
| O'er level paths with moss and flow'rets strewn | B |
| For whom she still prepares a downy bed | A |
| With roses scatter'd and to thorns unknown | C |
| Wilt thou yet murmur at a misplaced leaf | D |
| Think ere thy irritable nerves repine | C |
| How many born with feelings keen as thine | C |
| Taste all the sad vicissitudes of grief | D |
| How many steep in tears their scanty bread | A |
| Or lost to reason Sorrow's victims rave | E |
| How many know not where to lay their head | A |
| While some are driven by anguish to the grave | E |
| Think nor impatient at a feather's weight | F |
| Mar the uncommon blessings of thy fate | F |
