Sonnet Ii. (translated From Milton) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEE| As on a hill top rude when closing day | A |
| Imbrowns the scene some past'ral maiden fair | B |
| Waters a lovely foreign plant with care | B |
| That scarcely can its tender bud display | A |
| Borne from its native genial airs away | A |
| So on my tongue these accents new and rare | B |
| Are flow'rs exotic which Love waters there | B |
| While thus o sweetly scornful I essay | A |
| Thy praise in verse to British ears unknown | C |
| And Thames exchange for Arno's fair domain | D |
| So Love has will'd and oftimes Love has shown | C |
| That what He wills he never wills in vain | D |
| Oh that this hard and steril breast might be | E |
| To Him who plants from heav'n a soil as free | E |
William Cowper
