Sonnet Xx: Fly, Fly, My Friends Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ABAB CDC DEEFly fly my friends I have my death wound fly | A |
See there that boy that murthering boy I say | B |
Who like a thief hid in dark bush doth lie | A |
Till bloody bullet get him wrongful prey | B |
- | |
So tyrant he no fitter place could spy | A |
Nor so fair level in so secret stay | B |
As that sweet black which veils the heav'nly eye | A |
There himself with his shot he close doth lay | B |
- | |
Poor passenger pass now thereby I did | C |
And stayed pleas'd with the prospect of the place | D |
While that black hue from me the bad guest hid | C |
- | |
But straight I saw motions of lightning grace | D |
And then descried the glist'ring of his dart | E |
But ere I could fly hence it pierc'd my heart | E |
