Sonnet: If By Dull Rhymes Our English Must Be Chain'd Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCABCCABCDEDFIf by dull rhymes our English must be chain'd | A |
And like Andromeda the Sonnet sweet | B |
Fetter'd in spite of pained loveliness | C |
Let us find out if we must be constrain'd | A |
Sandals more interwoven and complete | B |
To fit the naked foot of poesy | C |
Let us inspect the lyre and weigh the stress | C |
Of every chord and see what may be gain'd | A |
By ear industrious and attention meet | B |
Misers of sound and syllable no less | C |
Than Midas of his coinage let us be | D |
Jealous of dead leaves in the bay wreath crown | E |
So if we may not let the Muse be free | D |
She will be bound with garlands of her own | F |
