Sonnet Xvii: My Poet, Thou Canst Touch Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACACACA| My poet thou canst touch on all the notes | A |
| God set between his After and Before | B |
| And strike up and strike off the general roar | B |
| Of the rushing worlds a melody that floats | A |
| In a serene air purely Antidotes | A |
| Of medicated music answering for | B |
| Mankind's forlornest uses thou canst pour | B |
| From thence into their ears God's will devotes | A |
| Thine to such ends and mine to wait on thine | C |
| How Dearest wilt thou have me for most use | A |
| A hope to sing by gladly or a fine | C |
| Sad memory with thy songs to interfuse | A |
| A shade in which to sing of palm or pine | C |
| A grave on which to rest from singing Choose | A |
