Sonnet Iv: Why, When I Gaze Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| Why when I gaze on Phaon's beauteous eyes | A |
| Why does each thought in wild disorder stray | B |
| Why does each fainting faculty decay | B |
| And my chill'd breast in throbbing tumults rise | A |
| Mute on the ground my Lyre neglected lies | A |
| The Muse forgot and lost the melting lay | B |
| My down cast looks my faultering lips betray | B |
| That stung by hopeless passion Sappho dies | A |
| Now on a bank of Cypress let me rest | C |
| Come tuneful maids ye pupils of my care | D |
| Come with your dulcet numbers soothe my breast | C |
| And as the soft vibrations float on air | D |
| Let pity waft my spirit to the blest | C |
| To mock the barb'rous triumphs of despair | D |
