Licia Sonnets 11 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGH| In Ida vale three queens the shepherd saw | A |
| Queens of esteem divine they were all three | B |
| A sight of worth But I a wonder shaw | A |
| Their virtues all in one alone to be | B |
| Licia the fair surpassing Venus' pride | C |
| The matchless queen commander of the gods | D |
| When drawn with doves she in her pomp doth ride | C |
| Hath far more beauty and more grace by odds | D |
| Juno Jove's wife unmeet to make compare | E |
| I grant a goddess but not half so mild | F |
| Minerva wise a virtue but not rare | E |
| Yet these are mean if that my love but smiled | F |
| She them surpasseth when their prides are full | G |
| As far as they surpass the meanest trull | H |
