Licia Sonnets 19 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFAAThat time fair Licia when I stole a kiss | A |
From off those lips where Cupid lovely laid | B |
I quaked for cold and found the cause was this | A |
My life which loved for love behind me staid | B |
I sent my heart my life for to recall | C |
But that was held not able to return | D |
And both detained as captives were in thrall | C |
And judged by her that both by sighs should burn | D |
Fair burn them both for that they were so bold | E |
But let the altar be within thy heart | F |
And I shall live because my life you hold | E |
You that give life to every living part | F |
A flame I took whenas I stole the kiss | A |
Take you my life yet can I live with this | A |
