Sonnet I: Like An Advent'rous Seafarer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEFGHIHJJ| Like an advent'rous seafarer am I | A |
| Who hath some long and dang'rous voyage been | B |
| And call'd to tell of his discovery | C |
| How far he sail'd what countries he had seen | D |
| Proceeding from the port whence he put forth | E |
| Shows by his compass how his course he steer'd | F |
| When East when West when South and when by North | E |
| As how the Pole to every place was rear'd | F |
| What capes he doubled of what Continent | G |
| The gulfs and straits that strangely he had past | H |
| Where most becalm'd where with foul weather spent | I |
| And on what rocks in peril to be cast | H |
| Thus in my love Time calls me to relate | J |
| My tedious travels and oft varying fate | J |
