Sonnet Xxxix: Some, When In Rhyme Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEAEAFGSome when in rhyme they of their loves do tell | A |
With flames and lightnings their exordiums paint | B |
Some call on Heav'n some invocate on Hell | A |
And Fates and Furies with their woes acquaint | B |
Elysium is too high a seat for me | C |
I will not come in Styx or Phlegethon | D |
The thrice three Muses but too wanton be | C |
Like they that lust I care not I will none | D |
Spiteful Erinnys frights me with her looks | E |
My manhood dares not with foul Ate mell | A |
I quake to look on Hecate's charming books | E |
I still fear bugbears in Apollo's cell | A |
I pass not for Minerva nor Astraea | F |
Only I call on my divine Idea | G |
