Astrophel And Stella - Sonnet Iii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABABCCDEED| Let dainty wits crie on the Sisters nine | A |
| That brauely maskt their fancies may be told | B |
| Or Pindars apes flaunt they in phrases fine | A |
| Enam'ling with pied flowers their thoughts of gold | B |
| Or else let them in statlier glorie shine | A |
| Ennobling new found tropes with problemes old | B |
| Or with strange similes enrich each line | A |
| Of herbes or beasts which Inde or Affrick hold | B |
| For me in sooth no Muse but one I know | C |
| Phrases and problems from my reach do grow | C |
| And strange things cost too deare for my poor sprites | D |
| How then euen thus in Stellaes face I reed | E |
| What Loue and Beautie be then all my deed | E |
| But copying is what in her Nature writes | D |
