Astrophel And Stella - Seuenth Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBAA CCDEBB AAAAAA| Whose senses in so euill consort their stepdame Nature laies | A |
| That rauishing delight in them most sweete tunes do not raise | A |
| Or if they do delight therein yet are so closde with wit | B |
| As with ententious lips to set a title vaine on it | B |
| O let them heare these sacred tunes and learne in Wonders scholes | A |
| To be in things past bounds of wit fooles if they be not fooles | A |
| - | |
| Who haue so leaden eyes as not to see sweet Beauties show | C |
| Or seeing haue so wooden wits as not that worth to know | C |
| Or knowing haue so muddy minds as not to be in loue | D |
| Or louing haue so frothy thoughts as eas'ly thence to moue | E |
| O let them see these heau'nly beames and in faire letters reede | B |
| A lesson fit both sight and skill loue and firme loue to breede | B |
| - | |
| Heare then but then with wonder heare see but adoring see | A |
| No mortall gifts no earthly fruites now here descended be | A |
| See doo you see this face a face nay image of the skies | A |
| Of which the two life giuing lights are figur'd in her eyes | A |
| Heare you this soule inuading voice and count it but a voice | A |
| The very essence of their tunes when angels do reioyce | A |
