My Galley, Charged With Forgetfulness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAAAAAABAABCDMy galley charg d with forgetfulness | A |
Thorough sharp seas in winter nights doth pass | A |
'Tween rock and rock and eke mine en'my alas | A |
That is my lord steereth with cruelness | A |
And every owre a thought in readiness | A |
As though that death were light in such a case | A |
An endless wind doth tear the sail apace | A |
Of forced sighs and trusty fearfulness | A |
A rain of tears a cloud of dark disdain | B |
Hath done the weared cords great hinderance | A |
Wreath d with error and eke with ignorance | A |
The stars be hid that led me to this pain | B |
Drown d is Reason that should me comfort | C |
And I remain despairing of the port | D |
