Sonnet Xxxv. To Fortitude Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEFEGHGHII| NYMPH of the rock whose dauntless spirit braves | A |
| The beating storm and bitter winds that howl | B |
| Round thy cold breast and hear'st the bursting waves | A |
| And the deep thunder with unshaken soul | C |
| Oh come and show how vain the cares that press | D |
| On my weak bosom and how little worth | E |
| Is the false fleeting meteor Happiness | F |
| That still misleads the wanderers of the earth | E |
| Strengthen'd by thee this heart shall cease to melt | G |
| O'er ills that poor humanity must bear | H |
| Nor friends estranged or ties dissolved be felt | G |
| To leave regret and fruitless anguish there | H |
| And when at length it heaves its latest sigh | I |
| Thou and mild Hope shall teach me how to die | I |
