Sonnets: Idea Xxiii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFBGBHHLove banished heaven in earth was held in scorn | A |
Wand'ring abroad in need and beggary | B |
And wanting friends though of a goddess born | A |
Yet craved the alms of such as pass d by | C |
I like a man devout and charitable | D |
Cloth d the naked lodged this wandering guest | E |
With sighs and tears still furnishing his table | D |
With what might make the miserable blest | E |
But this ungrateful for my good desert | F |
Enticed my thoughts against me to conspire | B |
Who gave consent to steal away my heart | G |
And set my breast his lodging on a fire | B |
Well well my friends when beggars grow thus bold | H |
No marvel then though charity grow cold | H |
