Sonnet Xxi: A Witless Galant Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEFGHGHII| A witless gallant a young wench that woo'd | A |
| Yet his dull spirit her not one jot could move | B |
| Entreated me as e'er I wish'd his good | C |
| To write him but one sonnet to his love | D |
| When I as fast as e'er my pen could trot | E |
| Pour'd out what first from quick invention came | F |
| Nor never stood one word thereof to blot | E |
| Much like his wit that was to use the same | F |
| But with my verses he his mistress won | G |
| Which doted on the dolt beyond all measure | H |
| But see for you to Heav'n for phrase I run | G |
| And ransack all Apollo's golden treasure | H |
| Yet by my froth this fool his love obtains | I |
| And I lose you for all my love and pains | I |
