The Love Sonnets Of Proteus. I Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAABBBCDCEDCF| TO ONE IN A HIGH POSITION | A |
| To you a poet glorious heaven born | B |
| One who is not a poet but a son | A |
| Of the earth earthy sick and travel worn | B |
| And weary with a race already run | A |
| A battle lost e'er yet his day is done | A |
| Comes with this tribute shattered banners torn | B |
| From a defeat You reign in Macedon | B |
| My Alexander as at earlier morn | B |
| You reigned upon Parnassus hero king | C |
| I reign no more not even in those hearts | D |
| For which these songs were made and if I sing | C |
| 'Tis with a harsh and melancholy note | E |
| At which my own heart like an echo starts | D |
| Yet sometimes I can deem you listening | C |
| And then all else is instantly forgot | F |
