Amoretti Iii: The Sovereign Beauty Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBDBDDEDEFF| The sovereign beauty which I do admire | A |
| Witness the world how worthy to be praised | B |
| The light whereof hath kindled heavenly fire | C |
| In my frail spirit by her from baseness raised | B |
| That being now with her huge brightness dazed | B |
| Base thing I can no more endure to view | D |
| But looking still on her I stand amazed | B |
| At wondrous sight of so celestial hue | D |
| So when my tongue would speak her praises due | D |
| It stopped is with thought's astonishment | E |
| And when my pen would write her titles true | D |
| It ravish'd is with fancy's wonderment | E |
| Yet in my heart I then both speak and write | F |
| The wonder that my wit cannot endite | F |
