Sonnets: Idea Xxvi To Despair Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCBCCBEE| I ever love where never hope appears | A |
| Yet hope draws on my never hoping care | B |
| And my life's hope would die but for despair | B |
| My never certain joy breeds ever certain fears | A |
| Uncertain dread gives wings unto my hope | C |
| Yet my hope's wings are laden so with fear | D |
| As they cannot ascend to my hope's sphere | D |
| Though fear gives them more than a heavenly scope | C |
| Yet this large room is bounded with despair | B |
| So my love is still fettered with vain hope | C |
| And liberty deprives him of his scope | C |
| And thus am I imprisoned in the air | B |
| Then sweet despair awhile hold up thy head | E |
| Or all my hope for sorrow will be dead | E |
