Sonnet Xxix: Whilst By Her Eyes Pursu'd Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACACDEDEFF| Whilst by her eyes pursu'd my poor heart flew it | A |
| Into the sacred bosom of my dearest | B |
| She there in that sweet sanctuary slew it | A |
| Where it presum'd its safety to be nearest | B |
| My priviledge of faith could not protect it | A |
| That was with blood and three years' witness sign'd | C |
| In all which time she never could suspect it | A |
| For well she saw my love and how I pin'd | C |
| And yet no comfort would her brow reveal me | D |
| No lightning look which falling hopes erecteth | E |
| What boots to laws of succour to appeal me | D |
| Ladies and tyrants never laws respecteth | E |
| Then there I die where hop'd I to have liven | F |
| And by that hand which better might have given | F |
Samuel Daniel
