Caelia - Sonnet - 3 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEFEGHGHII| Fairest when by the rules of palmistry | A |
| You took my hand to try if you could guess | B |
| By lines therein if any wight there be | A |
| Ordain'd to make me know some happiness | C |
| I wish'd that those characters could explain | D |
| Whom I will never wrong with hope to win | E |
| Or that by them a copy might be ta'en | F |
| By you alone what thoughts I have within | E |
| But since the hand of Nature did not set | G |
| As providently loath to have it known | H |
| The means to find that hidden alphabet | G |
| Mine eyes shall be th' interpreters alone | H |
| By them conceive my thoughts and tell me fair | I |
| If now you see her that doth love me there | I |
