Sonnets. Xii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAADCABCBBCB| I did but prompt the age to quit their cloggs | A |
| By the known rules of antient libertie | B |
| When strait a barbarous noise environs me | C |
| Of Owles and Cuckoes Asses Apes and Doggs | A |
| As when those Hinds that were transform'd to Froggs | A |
| Raild at Latona's twin born progenie | D |
| Which after held the Sun and Moon in fee | C |
| But this is got by casting Pearl to Hoggs | A |
| That bawle for freedom in their senceless mood | B |
| And still revolt when truth would set them free | C |
| Licence they mean when they cry libertie | B |
| For who loves that must first be wise and good | B |
| But from that mark how far they roave we see | C |
| For all this wast of wealth and loss of blood | B |
