Sonnet: On A Stolen Kiss Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFGHI| Now gentle sleep hath clos d up those eyes | A |
| Which waking kept my boldest thoughts in awe | B |
| And free access unto that sweet lip lies | A |
| From whence I long the rosy breath to draw | C |
| Methinks no wrong it were if I should steal | D |
| From those two melting rubies one poor kiss | E |
| None sees the theft that would the thief reveal | D |
| Nor rob I her of aught which she can miss | E |
| Nay should I twenty kisses take away | F |
| There would be little sign I had done so | G |
| Why then should I this robbery delay | F |
| Oh she may wake and therewith angry grow | G |
| Well if she do I'll back restore that one | H |
| And twenty hundred thousand more for loan | I |
