Sonnet Iv: Bright Star Of Beauty Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEFEGHIHJJBright 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 |
