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 eyes | A |
| In colour black why wrapt she beams so bright | B |
| Would she in beamy black like painter wise | A |
| Frame daintiest lustre mix'd of shades and light | B |
| Or did she else that sober hue devise | A |
| In object best to knit and strength our sight | B |
| Lest if no veil these brave gleams did disguise | A |
| They sunlike should more dazzle than delight | B |
| Or would she her miraculous power show | C |
| That whereas black seems beauty's contrary | D |
| She even in black doth make all beauties flow | C |
| Both so and thus she minding Love should be | D |
| Plac'd ever there gave him this mourning weed | E |
| To honour all their deaths who for her bleed | E |
Sir Philip Sidney
