Licia Sonnets 37 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGHH| I speak fair Licia what my torments be | A |
| But then my speech too partial do I find | B |
| For hardly words can with those thoughts agree | A |
| Those thoughts that swarm in such a troubled mind | B |
| Then do I vow my tongue shall never speak | C |
| Nor tell my grief that in my heart doth lie | D |
| But cannon like I then surcharged do break | E |
| And so my silence worse than speech I try | D |
| Thus speech or none they both do breed my care | F |
| I live dismayed and kill my heart with grief | G |
| In all respects my case alike doth fare | F |
| To him that wants and dare not ask relief | G |
| Then you fair Licia sovereign of my heart | H |
| Read to yourself my anguish and my smart | H |
