Sonnet Xxii: To Cyriack Skinner Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACBCBCB| Cyriack this three years' day these eyes though clear | A |
| To outward view of blemish or of spot | B |
| Bereft of light their seeing have forgot | B |
| Nor to their idle orbs doth sight appear | A |
| Of sun or moon or star throughout the year | A |
| Or man or woman Yet I argue not | B |
| Against Heav'n's hand or will not bate a jot | B |
| Of heart or hope but still bear up and steer | A |
| Right onward What supports me dost thou ask | C |
| The conscience friend to have lost them overplied | B |
| In liberty's defence my noble task | C |
| Of which all Europe talks from side to side | B |
| This thought might lead me through the world's vain mask | C |
| Content though blind had I no better guide | B |
