Licia Sonnets 40 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFGHHMy grief begun fair saint when first I saw | A |
Love in those eyes sit ru ing with disdain | B |
Whose sweet commands did keep a world in awe | C |
And caused them serve your favor to obtain | B |
I stood as one enchanted with a frown | D |
Yet smiled to see all creatures serve those eyes | E |
Where each with sighs paid tribute to that crown | D |
And thought them grac d by your dumb rep ies | E |
But I ambitious could not be content | F |
Till that my service more than sighs made known | G |
And for that end my heart to you I sent | F |
To say and swear that fair it is your own | G |
Then greater graces Licia do impart | H |
Not dumb replies unto a speaking heart | H |
