Sonnets. Xix Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCADEDEEEMethought I saw my late espoused Saint | A |
Brought to me like Alcestis from the grave | B |
Whom Joves great Son to her glad Husband gave | B |
Rescu'd from death by force though pale and faint | A |
Mine as whom washt from spot of child bed taint | A |
Purification in the old Law did save | B |
And such as yet once more I trust to have | C |
Full sight of her in Heaven without restraint | A |
Came vested all in white pure as her mind | D |
Her face was vail'd yet to my fancied sight | E |
Love sweetness goodness in her person shin'd | D |
So clear as in no face with more delight | E |
But O as to embrace me she enclin'd | E |
I wak'd she fled and day brought back my night | E |
