Astrophel And Stella: Lxxi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCADEDFGH| Who will in fairest book of nature know | A |
| How virtue may best lodg'd in beauty be | B |
| Let him but learn of love to read in thee | B |
| Stella those fair lines which true goodness show | A |
| There shall he find all vices' overthrow | A |
| Not by rude force but sweetest sovereignty | B |
| Of reason from whose light those night birds fly | C |
| That inward sun in thine eyes shineth so | A |
| And not content to be perfection's heir | D |
| Thyself dost strive all minds that way to move | E |
| Who mark in thee what is in thee most fair | D |
| So while thy beauty draws thy heart to love | F |
| As fast thy virtue bends that love to good | G |
| But Ah Desire still cries Give me some food | H |
