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 tasteA
The bliss supreme that kindles fancy's fireB
Whose magic fingers sweep the muses' lyreC
In varying cadence eloquently chasteA
Well may the mind with tuneful numbers grac'dA
To Fame's immortal attributes aspireC
Above the treach'rous spells of low desireB
That wound the sense by vulgar joys debas'dA
For thou blest POESY with godlike pow'rsD
To calm the miseries of man wert giv'nE
When passion rends and hopeless love devoursD
By mem'ry goaded and by frenzy driv'nE
'Tis thine to guide him 'midst Elysian bow'rsD
And shew his fainting soul a glimpse of Heav'nE
