Sonnet Xvii: Love Steals Unheeded Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCE| Love steals unheeded o'er the tranquil mind | A |
| As Summer breezes fan the sleeping main | B |
| Slow through each fibre creeps the subtle pain | B |
| 'Till closely round the yielding bosom twin'd | A |
| Vain is the hope the magic to unbind | A |
| The potent mischief riots in the brain | B |
| Grasps ev'ry thought and burns in ev'ry vein | B |
| 'Till in the heart the Tyrant lives enshrin'd | A |
| Oh Victor strong bending the vanquish'd frame | C |
| Sweet is the thraldom that thou bid'st us prove | D |
| And sacred is the tear thy victims claim | C |
| For blest are those whom sighs of sorrow move | D |
| Then nymphs beware how ye profane my name | C |
| Nor blame my weakness till like me ye love | E |
