Sonet 23 To The Spheares Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDECFCFBB| Thou which do'st guide this little world of loue | A |
| Thy planets mansions heere thou mayst behold | B |
| My brow the spheare where Saturne still doth moue | C |
| Wrinkled with cares and withered dry and cold | B |
| Mine eyes the Orbe where Iupiter doth trace | D |
| Which gently smile because they looke on thee | E |
| Mars in my swarty visage takes his place | D |
| Made leane with loue where furious conflicts bee | E |
| Sol in my breast with his hote scorching flame | C |
| And in my hart alone doth Venus raigne | F |
| Mercury my hands the Organs of thy fame | C |
| And Luna glides in my fantastick braine | F |
| The starry heauen thy prayse by me exprest | B |
| Thou the first moouer guiding all the rest | B |
