Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEDEFFScorn not the Sonnet Critic you have frowned | A |
Mindless of its just honours with this key | B |
Shakespeare unlocked his heart the melody | B |
Of this small lute gave ease to Petrarch's wound | A |
A thousand times this pipe did Tasso sound | A |
With it Cam ouml ens soothed an exile's grief | C |
The Sonnet glittered a gay myrtle leaf | C |
Amid the cypress with which Dante crowned | A |
His visionary brow a glow worm lamp | D |
It cheered mild Spenser called from Faery land | E |
To struggle through dark ways and when a damp | D |
Fell round the path of Milton in his hand | E |
The Thing became a trumpet whence he blew | F |
Soul animating strains alas too few | F |
