Sonnet Xxxix: Prepare Your Wreaths Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD

Prepare your wreaths Aonian maids divineA
To strew the tranquil bed where I shall sleepB
In tears the myrtle and the laurel steepB
And let Erato's hand the trophies twineA
No parian marble there with labour'd lineA
Shall bid the wand'ring lover stay to weepB
There holy silence shall her vigils keepB
Save when the nightingale such woes as mineA
Shall sadly sing as twilight's curtains spreadC
There shall the branching lotos widely waveD
Sprinkling soft show'rs upon the lily's headC
Sweet drooping emblem for a lover's graveD
And there shall Phaon pearls of pity shedC
To gem the vanquish'd heart he scorn'd to saveD
