Sonnet Xxix: The Moonstar Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEDEED| Lady I thank thee for thy loveliness | A |
| Because my lady is more lovely still | B |
| Glorying I gaze and yield with glad goodwill | B |
| To thee thy tribute by whose sweet spun dress | A |
| Of delicate life Love labours to assess | A |
| My lady's absolute queendom saying Lo | C |
| How high this beauty is which yet doth show | C |
| But as that beauty's sovereign votaress | A |
| Lady I saw thee with her side by side | D |
| And as when night's fair fires their queen surround | E |
| An emulous star too near the moon will ride | D |
| Even so thy rays within her luminous bound | E |
| Were traced no more and by the light so drown'd | E |
| Lady not thou but she was glorified | D |
