Sonnet 21 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BAABBAABCDACDA| XXI | A |
| - | |
| Cyriac whose grandsire on the royal bench | B |
| Of British Themis with no mean applause | A |
| Pronounced and in his volumes taught our laws | A |
| Which others at their bar so often wrench | B |
| Today deep thoughts resolve with me to drench | B |
| In mirth that after no repenting draws | A |
| Let Euclid rest and Archimedes pause | A |
| And what the Swede intends and what the French | B |
| To measure life learn thou betimes and know | C |
| Toward solid good what leads the nearest way | D |
| For other things mild Heav'n a time ordains | A |
| And disapproves that care though wise in show | C |
| That with superfluous burden loads the day | D |
| And when God sends a cheerful hour refrains | A |
