Sonnet Xviii. To The Earl Of Egremont Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGBB| WYNDHAM 'tis not thy blood though pure it runs | A |
| Through a long line of glorious ancestry | B |
| Percys and Seymours Britain's boasted sons | A |
| Who trust the honours of their race to thee | B |
| 'Tis not thy splendid domes where science loves | C |
| To touch the canvass and the bust to raise | D |
| Thy rich domains fair fields and spreading groves | E |
| 'Tis not all these the Muse delights to praise | D |
| In birth and wealth and honours great thou art | F |
| But nobler in thy independent mind | G |
| And in that liberal hand and feeling heart | F |
| Given thee by Heaven a blessing to mankind | G |
| Unworthy oft may titled fortune be | B |
| A soul like thine is true Nobility | B |
