Sonnets: Idea Xxxix Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEAEAFG| Some when in rhyme they of their loves do tell | A |
| With flames and lightnings their exordiums paint | B |
| Some call on heaven some invocate on hell | A |
| And Fates and Furies with their woes acquaint | B |
| Elizium is too high a seat for me | C |
| I will not come in Styx or Phlegethon | D |
| The thrice three Muses but too wanton be | C |
| Like they that lust I care not I will none | D |
| Spiteful Erinnys frights me with her looks | E |
| My manhood dares not with foul Ate mell | A |
| I quake to look on Hecate's charming books | E |
| I still fear bugbears in Apollo's cell | A |
| I pass not for Minerva nor Astrea | F |
| Only I call on my divine Idea | G |
