Licia Sonnets 29 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFGHH| Why died I not whenas I last did sleep | A |
| O sleep too short that shadowed forth my dear | B |
| Heavens hear my prayers nor thus me waking keep | A |
| For this were heaven if thus I sleeping were | C |
| For in that dark there shone a princely light | D |
| Two milk white hills both full of nectar sweet | E |
| Her ebon thighs the wonder of my sight | D |
| Where all my senses with their objects meet | E |
| I pass these sports in secret that are best | F |
| Wherein my thoughts did seem alive to be | G |
| We both did strive and weary both did rest | F |
| I kissed her still and still she kissed me | G |
| Heavens let me sleep and shows my senses feed | H |
| Or let me wake and happy be indeed | H |
