Sonnet Xxxiv: Charm'd By Thy Suffrage Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBDCEFEFFE| Charm'd by thy suffrage shall I yet aspire | A |
| All inauspicious as my fate appears | B |
| By troubles darken'd that encrease with years | B |
| To guide the crayon or to touch the lyre | A |
| Ah me the sister Muses still require | C |
| A spirit free from all intrusive fears | B |
| Nor will they deign to wipe away the tears | D |
| Of vain regret that dim their sacred fire | C |
| But when thy envied sanction crowns my lays | E |
| A ray of pleasure lights my languid mind | F |
| For well I know the value of thy praise | E |
| And to how few the flattering meed confin'd | F |
| That thou their highly favour'd brows to bind | F |
| Wilt weave green myrtle and unfading bays | E |
