Sonnet Lvi: As To The Roman Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACCDCDDEDEFF| As to the Roman that would free his land | A |
| His error was his honor and renown | B |
| And more the fame of his mistaking hand | A |
| Than if he had the tyrant overthrown | C |
| So Delia hath mine error made me known | C |
| And deceiv'd attempt deserv'd more fame | D |
| Than if I had the victory mine own | C |
| And thy hard heart had yielded up the same | D |
| And so likewise renowned is thy blame | D |
| Thy cruelty thy glory O strange case | E |
| That errors should be grac'd that merit shame | D |
| And sin of frowns bring honor to thy face | E |
| Yet happy Delia that thou wast unkind | F |
| But happier yet if thou wouldst change thy mind | F |
Samuel Daniel
