Sonnet. To Generall Goring, After The Pacification At Berwi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBBCCC AAADCCC AEFEGGG GHHHIII

IA
Now the peace is made at the foes rateB
Whilst men of armes to kettles their old helmes translateB
And drinke in caskes of honourable plateB
In ev'ry hand let a cup be foundC
That from all hearts a health may soundC
To GORING to GORING see 't goe roundC
-
IIA
He whose glories shine so brave and highA
That captive they in triumph leade each care and eyeA
Claiming uncombated the victorieD
And from the earth to heav'n reboundC
Fixt there eternall as this roundC
To GORING to GORING see him crown'dC
-
IIIA
To his lovely bride in love with scarsE
Whose eyes wound deepe in peace as doth his sword in warsF
They shortly must depose the Queen of StarsE
Her cheekes the morning blushes giveG
And the benighted world repreeveG
To LETTICE to LETTICE let her liveG
-
IVG
Give me scorching heat thy heat dry SunH
That to this payre I may drinke off an oceanH
Yet leave my grateful thirst unquensht undoneH
Or a full bowle of heav'nly wineI
In which dissolved stars should shineI
To the couple to the couple th' are divineI
