Sonnet Xxxiii: Venus Victrix Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEDEFF| Could Juno's self more sovereign presence wear | A |
| Than thou 'mid other ladies throned in grace | B |
| Or Pallas when thou bend'st with soul stilled face | B |
| O'er poet's page gold shadowed in thy hair | A |
| Dost thou than Venus seem less heavenly fair | A |
| When o'er the sea of love's tumultuous trance | C |
| Hovers thy smile and mingles with thy glance | C |
| That sweet voice like the last wave murmuring there | A |
| Before such triune loveliness divine | D |
| Awestruck I ask which goddess here most claims | E |
| The prize that howsoe'er adjudged is thine | D |
| Then Love breathes low the sweetest of thy names | E |
| And Venus Victrix to my heart doth bring | F |
| Herself the Helen of her guerdoning | F |
