Sonnet Vii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCCCDDDDDD| No haste but good where wisdom makes the way | A |
| For proof whereof behold the simple snail | B |
| Who sees the soldier's carcass cast away | A |
| With hot assault the Castle to assail | B |
| By line and leisure climbs the wall | C |
| And wins the turret's top more cunningly | C |
| Than doughty Dick who lost his life and all | C |
| With hoisting up his head so hastily | C |
| The swiftest bitch brings forth the blindest whelps | D |
| The hottest Fevers coldest cramps ensue | D |
| The nakedest need hath ever latest helps | D |
| With Nevil then I find this proverb true | D |
| That Haste makes waste and therefore still I say | D |
| No haste but good where wisdom makes the way | D |
