Sonnet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDCDCECECFF| The worldly prince doth in his sceptre hold | A |
| A kind of heaven in his authorities | B |
| The wealthy miser in his mass of gold | A |
| Makes to his soul a kind of Paradise | C |
| The epicure that eats and drinks all day | D |
| Accounts no heaven but in his hellish routs | C |
| And she whose beauty seems a sunny day | D |
| Makes up her heaven but in her baby's clouts | C |
| But my sweet God I seek no prince's power | E |
| No miser's wealth nor beauty's fading gloss | C |
| Which pamper sin whose sweets are inward sour | E |
| And sorry gains that breed the spirit's loss | C |
| No my dear Lord let my Heaven only be | F |
| In my Love's service but to live to thee | F |
