Sonnets: Idea Vii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDDDDEFGFHH| Love in a humour played the prodigal | A |
| And bade my senses to a solemn feast | B |
| Yet more to grace the company withal | A |
| Invites my heart to be the chiefest guest | C |
| No other drink would serve this glutton's turn | D |
| But precious tears distilling from mine eyne | D |
| Which with my sighs this epicure doth burn | D |
| Quaffing carouses in this costly wine | D |
| Where in his cups o'ercome with foul excess | E |
| Straightways he plays a swaggering ruffian's part | F |
| And at the banquet in his drunkenness | G |
| Slew his dear friend my kind and truest heart | F |
| A gentle warning friends thus may you see | H |
| What 'tis to keep a drunkard company | H |
