Sonnet. Inscribed To Her Grace The Duchess Of Devonshire Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CBCB DCDCEE| 'TIS NOT thy flowing hair of orient gold | A |
| Nor those bright eyes like sapphire gems that glow | B |
| Nor cheek of blushing rose nor breast of snow | B |
| The varying passions of the heart could hold | A |
| - | |
| Those locks too soon shall own a silv'ry ray | C |
| Those radiant orbs their magic fires forego | B |
| Insatiate TIME shall steal those tints away | C |
| Warp thy fine form and bend thy beauties low | B |
| - | |
| But the rare wonders of thy polish'd MIND | D |
| Shall mock the empty menace of decay | C |
| The GEM that in thy SPOTLESS BREAST enshrin'd | D |
| Glows with the light of intellectual ray | C |
| Shall like the Brilliant scorn each borrow'd aid | E |
| And deck'd with native lustre NEVER FADE | E |
