Sonnet Xliii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCCDC| The candor of the gods is in thy gaze | A |
| The strength of Diane in thy virgin hand | B |
| Commanding as the goddess might command | B |
| And lead her lovers into higher ways | A |
| Aye the gods walk among us in these days | A |
| Had we the docile soul to understand | B |
| And me they visit in this joyless land | B |
| To cheer mine exile and receive my praise | A |

| For once methinks before the angels fell | C |
| Thou too did follow the celestial seven | D |
| Threading in file the meads of asphodel | C |
| And when thou comes here lady where I dwell | C |
| The place is flooded with the light of heaven | D |
| And a lost music I remember well | C |
