Sonnet Iv: Bright Star Of Beauty Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEFEGHIHJJ| Bright star of beauty on whose eyelids sit | A |
| A thousand nymph like and enamour'd Graces | B |
| The Goddesses of Memory and Wit | A |
| Which there in order take their several places | C |
| In whose dear bosom sweet delicious Love | D |
| Lays down his quiver which he once did bear | E |
| Since he that blessed Paradise did prove | F |
| And leaves his mother's lap to sport him there | E |
| Let others strive to entertain with words | G |
| My soul is of a braver metal made | H |
| I hold that vile which vulgar wit affords | I |
| In me's that faith which Time cannot invade | H |
| Let what I praise be still made good by you | J |
| Be you most worthy whilst I am most true | J |
