Sonnet Lxxix. To The Goddess Of Botany Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACACCACDCDC| OF Folly weary shrinking from the view | A |
| Of Violence and Fraud allow'd to take | B |
| All peace from humble life I would forsake | B |
| Their haunts for ever and sweet Nymph with you | A |
| Find shelter where my tired and tear swollen eyes | C |
| Among your silent shades of soothing hue | A |
| Your 'bells and florrets of unnumber'd dyes' | C |
| Might rest And learn the bright varieties | C |
| That from your lovely hands are fed with dew | A |
| And every veined leaf that trembling sighs | C |
| In mead or woodland or in wilds remote | D |
| Or lurk with mosses in the humid caves | C |
| Mantle the cliffs on dimpling rivers float | D |
| Or stream from coral rocks beneath the ocean's waves | C |
