Sonnet I Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACDAEFGEFH| NOR judge me light tho' light at times I seem | A |
| And lightly in the stress of fortune bear | B |
| The innumerable flaws of changeful care | B |
| Nor judge me light for this nor rashly deem | A |
| Office forbid to mortals kept supreme | A |
| And separate the prerogative of God | C |
| That seaman idle who is borne abroad | D |
| To the far haven by the favouring stream | A |
| Not he alone that to contrarious seas | E |
| Opposes all night long the unwearied oar | F |
| Not he alone by high success endeared | G |
| Shall reach the Port but winged with some light breeze | E |
| Shall they with upright keels pass in before | F |
| Whom easy Taste the golden pilot steered | H |
