Sonnet: On The Death Of Prince Henry Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGGMethought his royal person did foretell | A |
A kingly stateliness from all pride clear | B |
His look majestic seem d to compel | A |
All men to love him rather than to fear | B |
And yet though he were every good man's joy | C |
And the alonely comfort of his own | D |
His very name with terror did annoy | C |
His foreign foes so far as he was known | D |
Hell drooped for fear the Turkey moon looked pale | E |
Spain trembled and the most tempestuous sea | F |
Where Behemoth the Babylonish whale | E |
Keeps all his bloody and imperious plea | F |
Was swoln with rage for fear he'd stop the tide | G |
Of her o'er daring and insulting pride | G |
