Sonnet 1 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGHGII| Like an aduenturous Sea farer am I | A |
| Who hath some long and dang'rous Voyage beene | B |
| And call'd to tell of his Discouerie | C |
| How farre he sayl'd what Countries he had seene | B |
| Proceeding from the Port whence he put forth | D |
| Shewes by his Compasse how his Course he steer'd | E |
| When East when West when South and when by North | D |
| As how the Pole to eu'ry place was rear'd | E |
| What Capes he doubled of what Continent | F |
| The Gulphes and Straits that strangely he had past | G |
| Where most becalm'd wherewith foule Weather spent | H |
| And on what Rocks in perill to be cast | G |
| Thus in my Loue Time calls me to relate | I |
| My tedious Trauels and oft varying Fate | I |
