The Glorious Stars Of Heaven Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFGHII| I'll ne'er believe that the Arch Architect | A |
| With all these fires the heavenly arches decked | A |
| Only for show and with their glistening shields | B |
| To amaze the poor shepherds watching in the fields | B |
| I'll ne'er believe that the least flower that pranks | C |
| Our garden borders or the common banks | C |
| And the least stone that in her warming lap | D |
| Our kind nurse Earth doth covetously wrap | D |
| Hath some peculiar virtue of its own | E |
| And that the glorious stars of Heaven have none | F |
| But shine in vain and have no charge precise | G |
| But to be walking in Heaven's galleries | H |
| And through the palace up and down to clamber | I |
| As golden gulls about a presence chamber | I |
Joshua Sylvester
