Sonnet Xx Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCDADAAA| IN vaine I seeke and sew to her for grace | A |
| and doe myne humbled hart before her poure | B |
| the whiles her foot she in my necke doth place | A |
| and tread my life downe in the lowly floure | B |
| And yet the Lyon that is Lord of power | B |
| and reigneth ouer euery beast in field | C |
| in his most pride disdeigneth to deuoure | B |
| the silly lambe that to his might doth yield | C |
| But she more cruell and more saluage wylde | D |
| then either Lyon or the Lyonesse | A |
| shames not to be with guiltlesse bloud defylde | D |
| but taketh glory in her cruelnesse | A |
| Fayrer then fayrest let none euer say | A |
| that ye were blooded in a yeelded pray | A |
