Licia Sonnets 30 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGH| Whenas my Licia sailed in the seas | A |
| Viewing with pride god Neptune's stately crown | B |
| A calm she made and brought the merchant ease | A |
| The storm she stayed and checked him with a frown | B |
| Love at the stern sate smiling and did sing | C |
| To see how seas had learned for to obey | D |
| And balls of fire into the waves did fling | C |
| And still the boy full wanton thus did say | D |
| Both poles we burnt whereon the world doth turn | E |
| The round of heaven from earth unto the skies | F |
| And now the seas we both intend to burn | E |
| I with my bow and Licia with her eyes | F |
| Then since thy force heavens earth nor seas can move | G |
| I conquered yield and do confess I love | H |
