Sonnets: Idea Xx Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFGHH| An evil spirit your beauty haunts me still | A |
| Wherewith alas I have been long possessed | B |
| Which ceaseth not to tempt me to each ill | A |
| Nor give me once but one poor minute's rest | B |
| In me it speaks whether I sleep or wake | C |
| And when by means to drive it out I try | D |
| With greater torments then it me doth take | C |
| And tortures me in most extremity | E |
| Before my face it lays down my despairs | F |
| And hastes me on unto a sudden death | G |
| Now tempting me to drown myself in tears | F |
| And then in sighing to give up my breath | G |
| Thus am I still provoked to every evil | H |
| By this good wicked spirit sweet angel devil | H |
