Sonnet Xxii. To Simplicity Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCAEAFGA| O I do love thee meek Simplicity | A |
| For of thy lays the lulling simpleness | B |
| Goes to my heart and soothes each small distress | B |
| Distress tho' small yet haply great to me | A |
| 'Tis true on Lady Fortune's gentlest pad | C |
| I amble on yet tho' I know not why | D |
| So sad I am but should a friend and I | D |
| Grow cool and miff O I am very sad | C |
| And then with sonnets and with sympathy | A |
| My dreamy bosom's mystic woes I pall | E |
| Now of my false friend plaining plaintively | A |
| Now raving at mankind in general | F |
| But whether sad or fierce 'tis simple all | G |
| All very simple meek Simplicity | A |
