Sonnet I: Favour'd By Heav'n Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACBADEDEDE| Favour'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 |
