Sonnet Xciv: Michelangelo 's Kiss Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCEE| Great Michelangelo with age grown bleak | A |
| And uttermost labours having once o'ersaid | B |
| All grievous memories on his long life shed | B |
| This worst regret to one true heart could speak | A |
| That when with sorrowing love and reverence meek | A |
| He stooped o'er sweet Colonna's dying bed | B |
| His Muse and dominant Lady spirit wed | B |
| Her hand he kissed but not her brow or cheek | A |
| O Buonarruoti good at Art's fire wheels | C |
| To urge her chariot even thus the Soul | D |
| Touching at length some sorely chastened goal | D |
| Earns oftenest but a little her appeals | C |
| Were deep and mute lowly her claim Let be | E |
| What holds for her Death's garner And for thee | E |
