Sonnet Lxxxi. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDDEFGFGHI| HE may be envied who with tranquil breast | A |
| Can wander in the wild and woodland scene | B |
| When summer's glowing hands have newly dress'd | A |
| The shadowy forests and the copses green | B |
| Who unpursued by care can pass his hours | C |
| Where briony and woodbine fringe the trees | D |
| On thymy banks reposing while the bees | D |
| Murmur 'their fairy tunes in praise of flowers ' | E |
| Or on the rock with ivy clad and fern | F |
| That overhangs the ozier whispering bed | G |
| Of some clear current bid his wishes turn | F |
| From this bad world and by calm reason led | G |
| Knows in refined retirement to possess | H |
| By friendship hallow'd rural happiness | I |
