Licia Sonnets 22 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFGGG| I might have died before my life begun | A |
| Whenas my father for his country's good | B |
| The Persian's favor and the Sophey won | A |
| And yet with danger of his dearest blood | C |
| Thy father sweet whom danger did beset | D |
| Escap d all and for no other end | E |
| But only this that you he might beget | D |
| Whom heavens decreed into the world to send | E |
| Then father thank thy daughter for thy life | F |
| And Neptune praise that yielded so to thee | G |
| To calm the tempest when the storms were rife | F |
| And that thy daughter should a Venus be | G |
| I call thee Venus sweet but be not wroth | G |
| Thou art more chaste yet seas did favor both | G |
