Sonnet Xxii: Love, Banish'd Heav'n Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFBGBHH| Love banish'd Heav'n on Earth was held in scorn | A |
| Wand'ring abroad in need and beggary | B |
| And wanting friends though of a Goddess born | A |
| Yet crav'd the alms of such as passed by | C |
| I like a man devout and charitable | D |
| Clothed the naked lodg'd this wand'ring guest | E |
| With sighs and tears still furnishing his table | D |
| With what might make the miserable blest | E |
| But this ungrateful for my good desert | F |
| Entic'd my thoughts against me to conspire | B |
| Who gave consent to steal away my heart | G |
| And set my breast his lodging on a fire | B |
| Well well my friends when beggars grow thus bold | H |
| No marvel then though charity grow cold | H |
