Sonnet Xxv: O Why Should Nature Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFEFEEE| O why should Nature niggardly restrain | A |
| That foreign nations relish not our tongue | B |
| Else should my lines glide on the waves of Rhene | A |
| And crown the Pyrens with my living song | C |
| But bounded thus to Scotland get you forth | D |
| Thence take you wing unto the Orcades | E |
| There let my verse get glory in the North | D |
| Making my sighs to thaw the frozen seas | E |
| And let the Bards within that Irish isle | F |
| To whom my Muse with fiery wing shall pass | E |
| Call back the stiff neck'd rebels from exile | F |
| And mollify the slaught'ring Gallowglass | E |
| And when my flowing numbers they rehearse | E |
| Let wolves and bears be charmed with my verse | E |
