Sonnet I: Favour'd By Heav'n Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACBADEDEDEFavour'd by Heav'n are those ordain'd to taste | A |
The bliss supreme that kindles fancy's fire | B |
Whose magic fingers sweep the muses' lyre | C |
In varying cadence eloquently chaste | A |
Well may the mind with tuneful numbers grac'd | A |
To Fame's immortal attributes aspire | C |
Above the treach'rous spells of low desire | B |
That wound the sense by vulgar joys debas'd | A |
For thou blest POESY with godlike pow'rs | D |
To calm the miseries of man wert giv'n | E |
When passion rends and hopeless love devours | D |
By mem'ry goaded and by frenzy driv'n | E |
'Tis thine to guide him 'midst Elysian bow'rs | D |
And shew his fainting soul a glimpse of Heav'n | E |
