Licia Sonnets 13 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABCDCEAEAFF| Enamored Jove commanding did entreat | A |
| Cupid to wound my love which he denied | A |
| And swore he could not for she wanted heat | A |
| And would not love as he full oft had tried | A |
| Jove in a rage impatient this to hear | B |
| Replied with threats I'll make you to obey | C |
| Whereat the boy did fly away for fear | D |
| To Licia's eyes where safe intrenched he lay | C |
| Then Jove he scorned and dared him to his face | E |
| For now more safe than in the heavens he dwelled | A |
| Nor could Jove's wrath do wrong to such a place | E |
| Where grace and honour have their kingdom held | A |
| Thus in the pride and beauty of her eyes | F |
| The seely boy the greatest god defies | F |
