Sonnet Xxxix: Some, When In Rhyme Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEAEAFG

Some when in rhyme they of their loves do tellA
With flames and lightnings their exordiums paintB
Some call on Heav'n some invocate on HellA
And Fates and Furies with their woes acquaintB
Elysium is too high a seat for meC
I will not come in Styx or PhlegethonD
The thrice three Muses but too wanton beC
Like they that lust I care not I will noneD
Spiteful Erinnys frights me with her looksE
My manhood dares not with foul Ate mellA
I quake to look on Hecate's charming booksE
I still fear bugbears in Apollo's cellA
I pass not for Minerva nor AstraeaF
Only I call on my divine IdeaG
