Caelia - Sonnet - 2 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEFGHGHII| Why might I not for once be of that sect | A |
| Which hold that souls when Nature hath her right | B |
| Some other bodies to themselves elect | A |
| And sunlike make the day and license night | B |
| That soul whose setting in one hemisphere | C |
| Was to enlighten straight another part | D |
| In that horizon if I see it there | E |
| Calls for my first respect and its desert | F |
| Her virtue is the same and may be more | G |
| For as the sun is distant so his power | H |
| In operation differs and the store | G |
| Of thick clouds interpos'd make him less our | H |
| And verily I think her climate such | I |
| Since to my former flame it adds so much | I |
