Sonnets. Xviii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDBCDB| Cyriack whose Grandsire on the Royal Bench | A |
| Of Brittish Themis with no mean applause | B |
| Pronounc't and in his volumes taught our Lawes | B |
| Which others at their Barr so often wrench | A |
| To day deep thoughts resolve with me to drench | A |
| In mirth that after no repenting drawes | B |
| Let Euclid rest and Archimedes pause | B |
| And what the Swede intend and what the French | A |
| 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 | B |
| 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 | B |
