Sonnet Iv: These Plaintive Verses Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFGHH| These plaintive verses the Posts of my desire | A |
| Which haste for succour to her slow regard | B |
| Bear not report of any slender fire | A |
| Forging a grief to win a fame's reward | C |
| Nor are my passions limn'd for outward hue | D |
| For that no colors can depaint my sorrows | E |
| Delia herself and all the world may view | D |
| Best in my face how cares hath till'd deep forrows | E |
| No Bays I seek to deck my mourning brow | F |
| O clear eyed Rector of the holy Hill | G |
| My humble accents crave the Olive bough | F |
| Of her mild pity and relenting will | G |
| These lines I use t'unburden mine own heart | H |
| My love affects no fame nor 'steems of art | H |
