Sonnet Lviii: None Other Fame Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEGHHNone other fame mine unambitious Muse | A |
Affected ever but t'eternize thee | B |
All other honors do my hopes refuse | A |
Which meaner priz'd and momentary be | B |
For God forbid I should my papers blot | C |
With mercenary lines with servile pen | D |
Praising virtues in them that have them not | C |
Basely attending on the hopes of men | D |
No no my verse respects nor Thames nor theaters | E |
Nor seeks it to be known unto the great | F |
But Avon rich in fame though poor in waters | E |
Shall have my song where Delia hath her seat | G |
Avon shall be my Thames and she my song | H |
I'll sound her name the river all along | H |
Samuel Daniel
