Astrophel And Stella - Sonnet Xviii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCADADAEE| With what sharp checkes I in myself am shent | A |
| When into Reasons audite I do goe | B |
| And by iust counts my selfe a bankrout know | B |
| Of all those goods which heauen to me hath lent | A |
| Vnable quite to pay euen Natures rent | A |
| Which vnto it by birthright I do ow | B |
| And which is worse no good excuse can showe | C |
| But that my wealth I haue most idly spent | A |
| My youth doth waste my knowledge brings forth toyes | D |
| My wit doth striue those passions to defende | A |
| Which for reward spoil it with vain annoyes | D |
| I see my course to lose myself doth bend | A |
| I see and yet no greater sorrow take | E |
| Than that I lose no more for Stellas sake | E |
