Sonnet 55: Muses, I Oft Invoked Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CDC EFF| Muses I oft invoked your hold aid | A |
| With choicest flow'rs my speech t'engarland so | B |
| That it despis'd in true by naked show | B |
| Might win some grace in your sweet grace array'd | A |
| - | |
| And oft whole troops of saddest words I stay'd | A |
| Striving abroad a foraging to go | B |
| Until by your inspiring I might know | B |
| How their black banner might be best display'd | A |
| - | |
| But now I mean no more your help to try | C |
| Nor other sug'ring of my speech to prove | D |
| But on her name incessantly to cry | C |
| - | |
| For let me but name her whom I do love | E |
| So sweet sounds straight mine ear and heart do hit | F |
| That I well find no eloquence like it | F |
