Translations. - Part Ii. Sonnet Lxxv. (from Petrarch.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBCDEDEDEThe elect angels and the souls in bliss | A |
The citizens of heaven when that first day | B |
My lady passed from me and went their way | B |
Of marvel and pity full did round her press | C |
What light is this and what new loveliness | C |
They said among them for such sweet display | B |
Did never mount that from the earth did stray | B |
To this high dwelling all this age we guess | C |
She well content her lodging chang'd to find | D |
Shows perfect by her peers most perfect placed | E |
And now and then half turning looks behind | D |
To see if I walk in the way she traced | E |
Hence I lift heavenward all my heart and mind | D |
Because I hear her pray me to make haste | E |
