Sonnet. To Melancholy. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEGHH| To 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 |
