Sleep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABABCDCDEE| Come Sleep O Sleep the certain knot of peace | A |
| The baiting place of wit the balm of woe | B |
| The poor man's wealth the prisoner's release | A |
| Th' indifferent judge between the high and low | B |
| With shield of proof shield me from out the prease | A |
| Of those fierce darts Despair at me doth throw | B |
| O make in me those civil wars to cease | A |
| I will good tribute pay if thou do so | B |
| Take thou of me smooth pillows sweetest bed | C |
| A chamber deaf to noise and blind of light | D |
| A rosy garland and a weary head | C |
| And if these things as being thine by right | D |
| Move not thy heavy grace thou shalt in me | E |
| Livelier than elsewhere Stella's image see | E |
