Sonnet Xxix. To Miss C---- Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCDEEFCEGHGHGH| On being desired to attempt writing a Comedy | A |
| - | |
| WOULD'ST thou then have me tempt the comic scene | B |
| Of gay Thalia used so long to tread | C |
| The gloomy paths of sorrow's cypress shade | D |
| And the lorn lay with sighs and tears to stain | E |
| Alas how much unfit her sprightly vein | E |
| Arduous to try and seek the sunny mead | F |
| And bowers of roses where she loves to lead | C |
| The sportive subjects of her golden reign | E |
| Enough for me if still to sooth my days | G |
| Her fair and pensive sister condescend | H |
| With tearful smile to bless my simple lays | G |
| Enough if her soft notes she sometimes lend | H |
| To gain for me of feeling hearts the praise | G |
| And chiefly thine my ever partial friend | H |
