Sonnet Xxviii. To Friendship Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCACAADAADA| THOU whose name too often is profaned | A |
| Whose charms celestial few have hearts to feel | B |
| Unknown to Folly and by Pride disdain'd | A |
| To thy soft solace may my sorrows steal | B |
| Like the fair moon thy mild and genuine ray | C |
| Through life's long evening shall unclouded last | A |
| While pleasure's frail attachments fleet away | C |
| As fades the rainbow from the northern blast | A |
| 'Tis thine O Nymph with 'balmy hands to bind' | A |
| The wounds inflicted in misfortune's storm | D |
| And blunt severe affliction's sharpest dart | A |
| 'Tis thy pure spirit warms my Anna's mind | A |
| Beams through the pensive softness of her form | D |
| And holds its altar on her spotless heart | A |
