Sonnets: Idea Xxv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEFGFGFFF| O why should nature niggardly restrain | A |
| That foreign nations relish not our tongue | B |
| Else should my lines glide on the waves of Rhine | C |
| And crown the Pyren's with my living song | D |
| But bounded thus to Scotland get you forth | E |
| Thence take you wing unto the Orcades | F |
| There let my verse get glory in the north | E |
| Making my sighs to thaw the frozen seas | F |
| And let the bards within that Irish isle | G |
| To whom my Muse with fiery wings shall pass | F |
| Call back the stiff necked rebels from exile | G |
| And mollify the slaughtering gallowglass | F |
| And when my flowing numbers they rehearse | F |
| Let wolves and bears be charm d with my verse | F |
