Astrophel And Stella Vii: Whennature Made Her Chief Work Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABABABCDCDEE

When Nature made her chief work Stella's eyesA
In colour black why wrapt she beams so brightB
Would she in beamy black like painter wiseA
Frame daintiest lustre mix'd of shades and lightB
Or did she else that sober hue deviseA
In object best to knit and strength our sightB
Lest if no veil these brave gleams did disguiseA
They sunlike should more dazzle than delightB
Or would she her miraculous power showC
That whereas black seems beauty's contraryD
She even in black doth make all beauties flowC
Both so and thus she minding Love should beD
Plac'd ever there gave him this mourning weedE
To honour all their deaths who for her bleedE

Sir Philip Sidney
