Sonnet Lvi: When Like An Eaglet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFGHIJIKK| When like an eaglet I first found my Love | A |
| For that the virtue I thereof would know | B |
| Upon the nest I set it forth to prove | C |
| If it were of that kingly kind or no | B |
| But it no sooner say my Sun appear | D |
| But on her rays with open eyes it stood | E |
| To show that I had hatch'd it for the air | F |
| And rightly came from that brave mounting brood | G |
| And when the plumes were summ'd with sweet desire | H |
| To prove the pinions it ascends the skies | I |
| Do what I could it needsly would aspire | J |
| To my Soul's Sun those two celestial eyes | I |
| Thus from my breast where it was bred alone | K |
| It after thee is like an eaglet flown | K |
