Sonnet 98: Ah Bed, The Field Where Joy's Peace Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CCD EED| Ah bed the field where joy's peace some do see | A |
| The field where all my thought to war be train'd | B |
| How is thy grace by my strange fortune stain'd | B |
| How thy lee shores by my sighs stormed be | A |
| - | |
| With sweet soft shades thou oft invitest me | A |
| To steal some rest but wretch I am constrain'd | B |
| Spurr'd with Love's spur though gall'd and shortly rein'd | B |
| With Care's hand to turn and toss in thee | A |
| - | |
| While the black horrors of the silent night | C |
| Paint woe's black face so lively to my sight | C |
| That tedious leisure marks each wrinkled line | D |
| - | |
| But when Aurora leads out Phoebus' dance | E |
| Mine eyes then only wink for spite perchance | E |
| That worms should have their Sun and I want mine | D |
