Sonnet. To Melancholy. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEGHHTo thy unhappy courts a lonely guest | A |
I come corroding Melancholy where | B |
Sequester'd from the world this woe worn breast | A |
May yet indulge a solitary tear | B |
For what should cheer the wretch's struggling heart | C |
What lead him thro' misfortunes gloomy shades | D |
When retrospection wings her keenest dart | C |
And hope's dim land in misery's ocean fades | D |
Adieu for ever visionary joys | E |
Delusive shadows of a short liv'd hour | F |
The rod of woe invincible destroys | E |
The light the fairy fabric of your pow'r | G |
How short of bliss the sublunary reign | H |
How long the clouded days of misery and pain | H |
