Astrophel And Stella: Iii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBCBCBCDDEFGE| ASTROPHEL AND STELLA III | A |
| Let dainty wits cry on the sisters nine | B |
| That bravely mask'd their fancies may be told | C |
| Or Pindar's apes flaunt they in phrases fine | B |
| Enam'ling with pied flowers their thoughts of gold | C |
| Or else let them in statelier glory shine | B |
| Ennobling newfound tropes with problems old | C |
| Or with strange similes enrich each line | B |
| Of herbs or beasts which Ind or Afric hold | C |
| For me in sooth no Muse but one I know | D |
| Phrases and problems from my reach do grow | D |
| And strange things cost too dear for my poor sprites | E |
| How then even thus in Stella's face I read | F |
| What love and beauty be then all my deed | G |
| But copying is what in her Nature writes | E |
