Licia Sonnets 15 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEFGHGHII| I stood amazed and saw my Licia shine | A |
| Fairer than Phoeligbus in his brightest pride | B |
| Set forth in colors by a hand divine | A |
| Where naught was wanting but a soul to guide | B |
| It was a picture that I could descry | C |
| Yet made with art so as it seemed to live | D |
| Surpassing fair and yet it had no eye | E |
| Whereof my senses could no reason give | F |
| With that the painter bid me not to muse | G |
| quot Her eyes are shut but I deserve no blame | H |
| For if she saw in faith it could not choose | G |
| But that the work had wholly been a flame | H |
| quot Then burn me sweet with brightness of your eyes | I |
| That phoelignix like from thence I may arise | I |
