Sonnet. In The Manner Of The Moderns. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Meek Maid that sitting on yon lofty tower | A |
| View'st the calm floods that wildly beat below | B |
| Be off yon sunbeam veils a heavy shower | A |
| Which sets my heart with joy a aching oh | B |
| For why O maid with locks of jetty flax | C |
| Should grief convulse my heart with joyful knocks | D |
| It is but reasonable you should ax | C |
| Because it soundeth like a paradox | D |
| Hear then bright virgin if the rain comes down | E |
| 'Twill wet the roads and spoil my morning ride | F |
| But it will also spoil thy bran new gown | E |
| And therefore cure thee of thy cursed pride | F |
| Moral this sonnet if well understood | G |
| Shows the same thing may bring both harm and good | G |
