Sonnet: On A Stolen Kiss Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFGHINow 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 |
