Sonnet On Receiving A Gift Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGH| Look how the golden ocean shines above | A |
| Its pebbly stones and magnifies their girth | B |
| So does the bright and blessed light of Love | A |
| Its own things glorify and raise their worth | B |
| As weeds seem flowers beneath the flattering brine | C |
| And stones like gems and gems as gems indeed | D |
| Ev'n so our tokens shine nay they outshine | C |
| Pebbles and pearls and gems and coral weed | D |
| For where be ocean waves but half so clear | E |
| So calmly constant and so kindly warm | F |
| As Love's most mild and glowing atmosphere | E |
| That hath no dregs to be upturn'd by storm | F |
| Thus sweet thy gracious gifts are gifts of price | G |
| And more than gold to doting Avarice | H |
