Caelia -sonnet - 4 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFBFBBB| Were't not for you here should my pen have rest | A |
| And take a long leave of sweet poesy | B |
| Britannia's swains and rivers far by west | A |
| Should hear no more mine oaten melody | C |
| Yet shall the song I sung of them awhile | D |
| Unperfect lie and make no further known | E |
| The happy loves of this our pleasant Isle | D |
| Till I have left some record of mine own | E |
| You are the subject now and writing you | F |
| I well may versify not poetize | B |
| Here needs no fiction for the graces true | F |
| And virtues clip not with base flatteries | B |
| Here could I write what you deserve of praise | B |
| Others might wear but I should win the bays | B |
