A Woman-s Sonnets: Iv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Should ever the day come when this drear world | A |
| Shall read the secret which so close I hold | B |
| Should taunts and jeers at my bowed head be hurled | A |
| And all my love and all my shame be told | B |
| I could not as some doughtier women do | C |
| Fling jests and gold and live the scandal down | D |
| Nor knowing all fame's bruitings to be true | C |
| Keep a proud face and brave the talk of town | D |
| I have no courage for such tricks and ways | E |
| No wish to flaunt a once well honoured name | F |
| I have too dear a thought of earlier days | E |
| Too deep a dread of my deserved shame | F |
| So when it comes with one last suppliant cry | G |
| For pardon from my wronged ones I must die | G |
