Sonnet Xxxvii. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFGEFG| The poet's fancy takes from Flora's realm | A |
| Her buds and leaves to dress fictitious powers | B |
| With the green olive shades Minerva's helm | A |
| And give to Beauty's queen the queen of flowers | B |
| But what gay blossoms of luxuriant spring | C |
| With rose mimosa amaranth entwined | D |
| Shall fabled Sylphs and fairy people bring | C |
| As a just emblem of the lovely mind | D |
| In vain the mimic pencil tries to blend | E |
| The glowing dyes that dress the flowery race | F |
| Scented and colour'd by a hand divine | G |
| Ah not less vainly would the Muse pretend | E |
| On her weak lyre to sing the native grace | F |
| And native goodness of a soul like thine | G |
