Sonnets: Idea Lvi An Allusion To The Eaglets Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFGHIJIKKWhen like an eaglet I first found my love | A |
For that the virtue I thereof would know | B |
Upon the nest I set it forth to prove | C |
If it were of that kingly kind or no | B |
But it no sooner saw my sun appear | D |
But on her rays with open eyes it stood | E |
To show that I had hatched it for the air | F |
And rightly came from that brave mounting brood | G |
And when the plumes were summed with sweet desire | H |
To prove the pinions it ascends the skies | I |
Do what I could it needsly would aspire | J |
To my soul's sun those two celestial eyes | I |
Thus from my breast where it was bred alone | K |
It after thee is like an eaglet flown | K |
