Translations. - Part I. Sonnet Lix. (from Petrarch.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBADEFFDE| I am so weary with the burden old | A |
| Of foregone faults and power of custom base | B |
| That much I fear to perish from the ways | C |
| And fall into my enemy's grim fold | A |
| True a high friend to free me not with gold | A |
| Came of ineffable and utmost grace | B |
| Then straightway vanished from before my face | B |
| So that in vain I strive him to behold | A |
| But his voice yet comes echoing below | D |
| O ye that labour the way open lies | E |
| Come unto me lest some one shut the gate | F |
| What heavenly grace what love will or what fate | F |
| The pinions of a dove on me bestow | D |
| That I may rest and from the earth arise | E |
