Sonnet Lxxxviii: Hero's Lamp. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCCD| That lamp thou fill'st in Eros' name to night | A |
| O Hero shall the Sestian augurs take | B |
| To morrow and for drowned Leander's sake | B |
| To Anteros its fireless lip shall plight | A |
| Aye waft the unspoken vow yet dawn's first light | A |
| On ebbing storm and life twice ebb'd must break | B |
| While 'neath no sunrise by the Avernian Lake | B |
| Lo where Love walks Death's pallid neophyte | A |
| That lamp within Anteros' shadowy shrine | C |
| Shall stand unlit for so the gods decree | D |
| Till some one man the happy issue see | D |
| Of a life's love and bid its flame to shine | C |
| Which still may rest unfir'd for theirs or thine | C |
| O brother what brought love to them or thee | D |
