Licia Sonnets 36 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGHH| Hear how my sighs are echoed of the wind | A |
| See how my tears are pitied by the rain | B |
| Feel what a flame possess d hath my mind | A |
| Taste but the grief which I possess in vain | B |
| Then if my sighs the blustering winds surpass | C |
| And wat'ry tears the drops of rain exceed | D |
| And if no flame like mine nor is nor was | E |
| Nor grief like that whereon my soul doth feed | D |
| Relent fair Licia when my sighs do blow | F |
| Yield at my tears that flintlike drops consume | G |
| Accept the flame that doth my incense show | F |
| Allow the grief that is my heart's perfume | G |
| Thus sighs and tears flame grief shall plead for me | H |
| So shall I pray and you a goddess be | H |
