Sonnets From The Portuguese Xvii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACACACAMy 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 |
