Sonnet X: Dang'rous To Hear Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEDED| Dang'rous to hear is that melodious tongue | A |
| And fatal to the sense those murd'rous eyes | B |
| Where in a sapphire sheath Love's arrow lies | B |
| Himself conceal'd the crystal haunts among | A |
| Oft o'er that form enamour'd have I hung | A |
| On that smooth cheek to mark the deep'ning dyes | B |
| While from that lip the fragrant breath would rise | B |
| That lip like Cupid's bow with rubies strung | A |
| Still let me gaze upon that polish'd brow | C |
| O'er which the golden hair luxuriant plays | D |
| So on the modest lily's leaves of snow | E |
| The proud Sun revels in resplendent rays | D |
| Warm as his beams this sensate heart shall glow | E |
| Till life's last hour with Phaon's self decays | D |
