Sonnet I Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGHH| IN haste post haste when first my wandering mind | A |
| Beheld the glistring Court with gazing eye | B |
| Such deep delights I seemed therein to find | A |
| As might beguile a graver guest than I | B |
| The stately pomp of Princes and their peers | C |
| Did seem to swim in floods of beaten gold | D |
| The wanton world of young delightful year | E |
| Was not unlike a heaven for to behold | D |
| Wherein did swarm for every saint a Dame | F |
| So fair of hue so fresh of their attire | G |
| As might excel Dame Cynthia for Fame | F |
| Or conquer Cupid with his own desire | G |
| These and such like baits that blazed still | H |
| Before mine eye to feed my greedy will | H |
