Licia Sonnets 24 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGH| When as my love lay sickly in her bed | A |
| Pale death did post in hope to have a prey | B |
| But she so spotless made him that he fled | A |
| Unmeet to die she cried and could not stay | B |
| Back he retired and thus the heavens he told | C |
| All things that are are subject unto me | D |
| Both towns and men and what the world doth hold | C |
| But her fair Licia still immortal be | D |
| The heavens did grant a goddess she was made | E |
| Immortal fair unfit to suffer change | F |
| So now she lives and never more shall fade | E |
| In earth a goddess what can be more strange | F |
| Then will I hope a goddess and so near | G |
| She cannot choose my sighs and prayers but hear | H |
