Sonnet Addressed To H. K. White, On His Poems Lately Published, By G. L. C. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEEDFG| Henry I greet thine entrance into life | A |
| Sure presage that the myrmidons of fate | B |
| The fool's unmeaning laugh the critic's hate | B |
| Will dire assail thee and the envious strife | A |
| Of bookish schoolmen beings over rife | A |
| Whose pia mater studious is fill'd | C |
| With unconnected matter half distill'd | C |
| From letter'd page shall bare for thee the knife | A |
| Beneath whose edge the poet ofttimes sinks | D |
| But fear not for thy modest work contains | E |
| The germ of worth thy wild poetic strains | E |
| How sweet to him untutor'd bard who thinks | D |
| Thy verse has power to please as soft it flows | F |
| Through the smooth murmurs of the frequent close | G |
