Sonnet Iii. Canzone. (translated From Milton) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADBBAAEAEAAF| They mock my toil the nymphs and am'rous swains | A |
| And whence this fond attempt to write they cry | B |
| Love songs in language that thou little know'st | C |
| How dar'st thou risque to sing these foreign strains | A |
| Say truly Find'st not oft thy purpose cross'd | D |
| And that thy fairest flow'rs Here fade and die | B |
| Then with pretence of admiration high | B |
| Thee other shores expect and other tides | A |
| Rivers on whose grassy sides | A |
| Her deathless laurel leaf with which to bind | E |
| Thy flowing locks already Fame provides | A |
| Why then this burthen better far declin'd | E |
| Speak Canzone for me The Fair One said who guides | A |
| My willing heart and all my Fancy's flights | A |
| 'This is the language in which Love delights ' | F |
William Cowper
