Identify the rime scheme. Does the poem follow the rules of the Italian orEnglish sonnet, or is it a combination of the two?
What will be an ideal response?
The rime scheme is a b a b, b c b c, c d c d, e e. The poem has some apparent features of the Italian sonnet, especially multiple use of the same rimes, and some obvious features of the English sonnet, including alternating rimes. In fact, it strictly follows the structure of a sonnet pattern in English that predates Shakespeare—that of the Spenserian sonnet, named for the poet Edmund Spenser (1552–1599), who created it in his Amoretti, a sequence of 89 sonnets published in 1595.
