Sonnet: Recantatory, In Reply To The Foregoing Elegant Admonition Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCEF| Let the sublimer muse who wrapp'd in night | A |
| Rides on the raven pennons of the storm | B |
| Or o'er the field with purple havoc warm | B |
| Lashes her steeds and sings along the fight | A |
| Let her whom more ferocious strains delight | A |
| Disdain the plaintive sonnet's little form | B |
| And scorn to its wild cadence to conform | B |
| The impetuous tenor of her hardy flight | A |
| But me far lowest of the sylvan train | C |
| Who wake the wood nymphs from the forest shade | D |
| With wildest song me much behoves thy aid | D |
| Of mingled melody to grace my strain | C |
| And give it power to please as soft it flows | E |
| Through the smooth murmurs of thy frequent close | F |
