Sonnet Ii: Not At First Sight Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CDC EFF| Not at first sight nor with a dribbed shot | A |
| Love gave the wound which while I breathe will bleed | B |
| But known worth did in mine of time proceed | B |
| Till by degrees it had full conquest got | A |
| - | |
| I saw and liked I liked but loved not | A |
| I lov'd but straight did not what Love decreed | B |
| At length to love's decrees I forc'd agreed | B |
| Yet with repining at so partial lot | A |
| - | |
| Now even that footstep of lost liberty | C |
| Is gone and now like slave born Muscovite | D |
| I call it praise to suffer tyranny | C |
| - | |
| And now employ the remnant of my wit | E |
| To make myself believe that all is well | F |
| While with a feeling skill I paint my hell | F |
