to such a tyrant never will I bow.
-----------------------------------------
Actually in a "Petrarchan" sonnet, which is what this most resembles, the rhyme scheme is abba,abba,cde,cde. In the traditional Elizabethan (Shakespearean) sonnet the pattern is abab,abab,abab,cc. There is also the "Spenserian" sonnet, but this is nothing like one of those, however, those are probably the top three most used forms, with the Elizabethan far outstripping the others.
-------------------------------------------
A bit of flaw in your logic (although I am all for free thinking). Religion and God/gods are not the same thing, and it is religion that creates the bonds of dogma. I think you will also find the same type of constriction in science, ones that can be just as closed minded as those imposed by religion. I have seen many a scientist get as red in the face and as frothy at the mouth as it religious brethren. Always enjoyable.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
