Sonnet 04 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBDBDCDCDCD

They dub thee idler smiling sneeringlyA
And why because forsooth so many moonsB
Here dwelling voiceless by the voiceful seaC
Thou hast not set thy thoughts to paltry tunesB
In song or sonnet Them these golden noonsB
Oppress not with their beauty they could prateD
Even while a prophet read the solemn runesB
On which is hanging some imperial fateD
How know they these good gossips what to theeC
The ocean and its wanderers may have broughtD
How know they in their busy vacancyC
With what far aim thy spirit may be fraughtD
Or that thou dost not bow thee silentlyC
Before some great unutterable thoughtD
