Astrophel And Stella - Sonnet Xxiv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABABCDCDEE| Rich fooles there be whose base and filthy heart | A |
| Lies hatching still the goods wherein they flow | B |
| And damning their own selues to Tantals smart | A |
| Wealth breeding want more rich more wretched growe | B |
| Yet to those fooles Heau'n doth such wit impart | A |
| As what their hands do hold their heads do know | B |
| And knowing loue and louing lay apart | A |
| As sacred things far from all dangers show | B |
| But that rich foole who by blind Fortunes lot | C |
| The richest gemme of loue and life enioys | D |
| And can with foule abuse such beauties blot | C |
| Let him depriu'd of sweet but vnfelt ioys | D |
| Exild for ay from those high treasures which | E |
| He knowes not grow in only folly rich | E |
Philip Sidney (sir)
